With every new technology, a new race starts - whether it’s to be the first to get a handle on the buzzwords, to publish on the subject, or to learn to use the technology.
Tutorial Details:
Ajax-or Asynchronous JavaScript and XML-lets you build rich internet applications that are more interactive, responsive, and easy to use than ever before. It puts an end to waiting for tiresome page reloads. Instead, clunky old Web applications feel fast and smooth, like dynamic desktop apps.
So where do you turn if you want to learn Ajax fast and learn it well? To learn it in a way that sticks in your brain, and even lets you have fun in the process? Head Rush Ajax by Brett McLaughlin is the answer. It uses the award-winning Head First approach you’ve seen before in “Head First Java” and “Head First Design Objects” and blends it with a jolt of pure caffeine. It’s an accelerated learning style designed for experienced programmers and Web designers; it’ll get the essentials of Ajax in your brain, fast.
"I looked around at the Ajax books coming out and was really disappointed," recalls McLaughlin. "First, they all seemed to target a pretty high-end, uber-geek type of market. I was much more interested in teaching designers, JavaScript programmers, and your 'everyday' Web developer about Ajax. I'm sure those other books are great for people who want to sit around and talk about transient usage patterns and the like, but I'm just a normal guy. I wanted this to be a book for normal people."
"And that's the other thing," McLaughlin continues. "Some of the books I'm seeing on Ajax are all about little widgets and gadgets and tricks. But none of them seem to actually talk about the Web browser, and asynchrony, and really focus on what Ajax is. Sure, it's a combination of technologies that have been around for a while, but that hardly means that everybody really gets what all those technologies are. I'd rather really ground someone in JavaScript
,and the Web browser, and asynchronous requests, and the Document Object Model, rather than blazing through that in 65 pages and spending 400 pages talking about esoteric user interface patterns and server-side languages. It's just not where my head's at... again, I just want a book that a normal Web developer (or even a motivated designer) can pick up, and get some light bulbs to turn on."
