Introduction
In the spring of 2006 this technology started gathering momentum, and
might be the next big thing
on the Web.
The things I like about AJAX are:
- it allows you to update part of the contents of a displayed
web page in an efficient and easy to control manner.
- it provides a means of making small updates quickly, giving
your user more feedback and a better "interactive" feel
- it requires little "special stuff" on the server, largely
just a different way of thinking about what the server should be doing.
In the extreme the server is changed from being an HTML source to a
provider of structured packets of data that are assembled for display
by the browser
- simple things are still quite simple, complex things just
take a bit longer

for Dummies, Steve Holzner, ISBN: 0-471-78597-0.
At about 350 pages this is not your typical massive web tome, but its
quite good and is fairly self-contained. It has a reasonable review of
JavaScript, which is essential to the whole Ajax process. It introduces
the browser DOM and highlights the key points. It talks about XML,
initially this is kept brief enough to get you formatting the data to
be returned from the server and parsing it in the browser, later it is
discussed at some length. It spends about a quarter of the book
reviewing some of the available client and server frameworks, so if you
are thinking of taking that road it might be worth getting just for
this. |
