false 45578 1 <p> Sick of creating web sites that reload every time a user moves the mouse? Tired of servers that wait around to respond to users' requests for movie tickets? It sounds like you need a little (or maybe a lot of) Ajax in your life. Asynchronous programming lets you turn your own web sites into smooth, slick, responsive applications that make your users feel like they're back on the information superhighway, not stuck on a dial-up backroad. </p> <p> But who wants to take on next-generation web programming with the last generation's instruction book? You need a learning experience that's as compelling and cutting-edge as the sites you want to design. That's where we come in. With <i>Head Rush Ajax</i>, in no time you'll be writing JavaScript code that fires off asynchronous requests to web servers...and having fun doing it. By the time you've taken your dynamic HTML, XML, JSON, and DOM skills up a few notches, you'll have solved tons of puzzles, figured out how well snowboards sell in Vail, and even watched a boxing match. Sound interesting? Then what are you waiting for? Pick up <i>Head Rush Ajax</i> and learn Ajax and asynchronous programming the <i>right</i> way--the way that sticks. </p> <p> If you've ever read a Head First book, you know what to expect: a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works. Head Rush ramps up the intensity with an even faster look and feel. Have your first working app before you finish Chapter 1, meet up with the nefarious PROJECT: CHAOS stealth team, and even settle the question of the Top 5 Blues CDs of all time. Leave boring, clunky web sites behind with 8-tracks and hot pants--and get going with next-generation web programming. </p> <p> "If you thought Ajax was rocket science, this book is for you. <i>Head Rush Ajax</i> puts dynamic, compelling experiences within reach for every web developer." -- Jesse James Garrett, Adaptive Path </p> <p> "A 'technology-meets-reality' book for web pioneers on the cutting edge." -- Valentin Crettaz, CTO, Condris Technologies </p> 44785 28 3 2006 Head Rush Ajax total:23|5:5|4:12|3:4|2:2|1:0| 23 89 54 0 4 0 false false Mon Oct 26 12:28:17 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 12:28:17 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Oct 26 02:34:14 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 02:34:20 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Oct 22 12:19:33 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 30 13:28:57 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 30 13:29:10 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Jul 09 08:43:57 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 09 08:43:57 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Mon Jul 06 12:46:30 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 12:47:20 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Jun 02 12:28:01 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 02 12:28:01 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Apr 22 09:09:00 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 09:09:00 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 02 07:26:13 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 02 07:26:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Mar 02 22:02:23 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 22:02:23 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Sun Feb 22 09:58:09 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 22 09:58:15 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 13 07:14:34 -0700 2009 Sat Jan 24 18:17:15 -0800 2009 Sun Sep 13 07:14:34 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Dec 09 09:16:19 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 09 09:16:19 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Nov 22 14:09:45 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 22 14:09:53 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Wed Nov 19 06:49:26 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 19 06:49:27 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Oct 09 09:09:35 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 09 09:09:41 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Thu Oct 02 15:42:09 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 02 15:42:09 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Sep 26 14:45:53 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 30 19:43:50 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Sep 03 13:29:41 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 03 13:29:41 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Aug 27 05:08:05 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 27 05:09:22 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Aug 23 14:27:49 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 24 09:05:08 -0700 2008
