As one of the Pragmatic series, this book starts from practical experience, demonstrating various features of Ajax through examples and guiding you step-by-step to achieve the stunning effects of Google Maps. It not only teaches you the technical details of Ajax but also introduces you to powerful mainstream Ajax toolkits (Dojo, Prototype, Script.aculo.us, DWR, Backbase, SmartClient, Ajax.NET, SAJAX, JSON-RPC), methods for viewing real-time source code, and corresponding debugging techniques. You will also learn about Ajax development patterns and frameworks. The latter part of the book, spanning five chapters, details the integration of Ajax with server-side programming languages such as PHP, Ruby on Rails, Java, and .NET from a server-side perspective. It concludes by introducing other RIA technologies similar to Ajax and the exciting future of Ajax (applications related to E4X, Canvas, and SVG).
