  <description><![CDATA[Ajax is no longer an experimental approach to website development, but the key to building browser-based applications that form the cornerstone of Web 2.0. <em>Head First Ajax</em> gives you an up-to-date perspective that lets you see exactly what you can do -- and has been done -- with Ajax. With it, you get a highly practical, in-depth, and mature view of what is now a mature development approach. <br/> <br/> Using the unique and highly effective visual format that has turned Head First titles into runaway bestsellers, this book offers a big picture overview to introduce Ajax, and then explores the use of individual Ajax components -- including the JavaScript event model, DOM, XML, JSON, and more -- as it progresses. You'll find plenty of sample applications that illustrate the concepts, along with exercises, quizzes, and other interactive features to help you retain what you've learned. <br/> <br/> <em>Head First Ajax</em> covers: &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;The JavaScript event model&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Making Ajax requests with XMLHTTPREQUEST objects&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;The asynchronous application model&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;The Document Object Model (DOM)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Manipulating the DOM in JavaScript&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Controlling the browser with the Browser Object Model&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;XHTML Forms&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;POST Requests&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;XML Syntax and the XML DOM tree&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;XML Requests &amp; Responses&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;JSON -- an alternative to XML&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Ajax architecture &amp; patterns&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;The Prototype Library&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; The book also discusses the server-side implications of building Ajax applications, and uses a &quot;black box&quot; approach to server-side components. <br/> <br/> <em>Head First Ajax</em> is the ideal guide for experienced web developers comfortable with scripting -- particularly those who have completed the exercises in <em>Head First JavaScript</em> -- and for experienced programmers in Java, PHP, and C# who want to learn client-side programming.<br/> <br/>]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[this book is a great complement to Head First Javascript.  Its also just brilliant in that it doesn't focus on just ajax, but the holistic approach required to create successful web apps.  You'll learn a lot more than just making asynchronous requests here.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Ajax is no longer an experimental approach to website development, but the key to building browser-based applications that form the cornerstone of Web 2.0. <em>Head First Ajax</em> gives you an up-to-date perspective that lets you see exactly what you can do -- and has been done -- with Ajax. With it, you get a highly practical, in-depth, and mature view of what is now a mature development approach. <br/> <br/> Using the unique and highly effective visual format that has turned Head First titles into runaway bestsellers, this book offers a big picture overview to introduce Ajax, and then explores the use of individual Ajax components -- including the JavaScript event model, DOM, XML, JSON, and more -- as it progresses. You'll find plenty of sample applications that illustrate the concepts, along with exercises, quizzes, and other interactive features to help you retain what you've learned. <br/> <br/> <em>Head First Ajax</em> covers: &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;The JavaScript event model&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Making Ajax requests with XMLHTTPREQUEST objects&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;The asynchronous application model&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;The Document Object Model (DOM)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Manipulating the DOM in JavaScript&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Controlling the browser with the Browser Object Model&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;XHTML Forms&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;POST Requests&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;XML Syntax and the XML DOM tree&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;XML Requests &amp; Responses&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;JSON -- an alternative to XML&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Ajax architecture &amp; patterns&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;The Prototype Library&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; The book also discusses the server-side implications of building Ajax applications, and uses a &quot;black box&quot; approach to server-side components. <br/> <br/> <em>Head First Ajax</em> is the ideal guide for experienced web developers comfortable with scripting -- particularly those who have completed the exercises in <em>Head First JavaScript</em> -- and for experienced programmers in Java, PHP, and C# who want to learn client-side programming.<br/> <br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[Ajax is no longer an experimental approach to website development, but the key to building browser-based applications that form the cornerstone of Web 2.0. <em>Head First Ajax</em> gives you an up-to-date perspective that lets you see exactly what you can do -- and has been done -- with Ajax. With it, you get a highly practical, in-depth, and mature view of what is now a mature development approach. <br/> <br/> Using the unique and highly effective visual format that has turned Head First titles into runaway bestsellers, this book offers a big picture overview to introduce Ajax, and then explores the use of individual Ajax components -- including the JavaScript event model, DOM, XML, JSON, and more -- as it progresses. You'll find plenty of sample applications that illustrate the concepts, along with exercises, quizzes, and other interactive features to help you retain what you've learned. <br/> <br/> <em>Head First Ajax</em> covers: &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;The JavaScript event model&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Making Ajax requests with XMLHTTPREQUEST objects&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;The asynchronous application model&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;The Document Object Model (DOM)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Manipulating the DOM in JavaScript&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Controlling the browser with the Browser Object Model&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;XHTML Forms&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;POST Requests&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;XML Syntax and the XML DOM tree&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;XML Requests &amp; Responses&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;JSON -- an alternative to XML&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Ajax architecture &amp; patterns&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;The Prototype Library&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; The book also discusses the server-side implications of building Ajax applications, and uses a &quot;black box&quot; approach to server-side components. <br/> <br/> <em>Head First Ajax</em> is the ideal guide for experienced web developers comfortable with scripting -- particularly those who have completed the exercises in <em>Head First JavaScript</em> -- and for experienced programmers in Java, PHP, and C# who want to learn client-side programming.<br/> <br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[Ajax is no longer an experimental approach to website development, but the key to building browser-based applications that form the cornerstone of Web 2.0. <em>Head First Ajax</em> gives you an up-to-date perspective that lets you see exactly what you can do -- and has been done -- with Ajax. With it, you get a highly practical, in-depth, and mature view of what is now a mature development approach. <br/> <br/> Using the unique and highly effective visual format that has turned Head First titles into runaway bestsellers, this book offers a big picture overview to introduce Ajax, and then explores the use of individual Ajax components -- including the JavaScript event model, DOM, XML, JSON, and more -- as it progresses. You'll find plenty of sample applications that illustrate the concepts, along with exercises, quizzes, and other interactive features to help you retain what you've learned. <br/> <br/> <em>Head First Ajax</em> covers: &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;The JavaScript event model&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Making Ajax requests with XMLHTTPREQUEST objects&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;The asynchronous application model&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;The Document Object Model (DOM)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Manipulating the DOM in JavaScript&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Controlling the browser with the Browser Object Model&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;XHTML Forms&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;POST Requests&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;XML Syntax and the XML DOM tree&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;XML Requests &amp; Responses&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;JSON -- an alternative to XML&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Ajax architecture &amp; patterns&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;The Prototype Library&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; The book also discusses the server-side implications of building Ajax applications, and uses a &quot;black box&quot; approach to server-side components. <br/> <br/> <em>Head First Ajax</em> is the ideal guide for experienced web developers comfortable with scripting -- particularly those who have completed the exercises in <em>Head First JavaScript</em> -- and for experienced programmers in Java, PHP, and C# who want to learn client-side programming.<br/> <br/>]]>
