Johnson David, White Alexei, Charland Andre. Enterprise AJAX: Strategies for Building High Performance Web Applications

Language: EnglishIf you are like many of the talented developers we meet, you’re interested in AJAX and how you can use it to improve your web applications. You may have even done some preliminary research online, checked out Ajaxian.com, or read a beginner’s book to AJAX development. If not, then
you’re like an even larger group of talented people who just want to break into AJAX and want to get started. In one respect or another, we’ve all been there. The good news is that as a community of developers, we’re finally starting to figure this thing out. In the end, it’s not that hard. We decided to write this book because we were frustrated that there was little information available for the more advanced topics in AJAX development. This was mainly because people in the industry were still writing the book on some of these topics, and despite a couple of years
in mainstream use, AJAX was just creeping into the enterprise software stack. We wanted to create a resource of information that would be of interest to enterprise developers in this space. To that end, we have tried to bring together current development approaches with JavaScript and the other technologies that comprise AJAX and present it in a way that would be familiar and amenable to any enterprise developer.
