Features: Ajax is at the intersection of many disciplines, and readers can approach it from various directions and arrive at the same destination. On one hand, it is suitable for professional enterprise application developers with a computer science degree and several years of experience in large-scale software projects, who sometimes need to peek over the battlements and do some presentation layer work. On the other hand, it is suitable for professional creative designers who have transitioned from graphic design to web design and "new media," who have self-taught how to use scripting languages such as PHP, Visual Basic, or JavaScript/ActionScript. Those between the two can include desktop application developers undergoing web development retraining, system administrators who want to integrate multiple web-based management tools, and many others. This book is the most comprehensive and in-depth work in the Ajax field to date, not only introducing the basics but also delving into major architectural issues in Ajax development, summarizing numerous design patterns in Ajax development, and discussing frameworks, security, and performance, among other topics. The book provides several typical examples that cover various development platforms, and the code can be slightly modified and directly applied to project development. The source code files can be downloaded from the Turing website. This book is extensive and in-depth, making it suitable for web application developers at all levels.
