Synopsis

The practicing programmer's DEITEL^® guide to AJAX, Rich Internet Applications, and web-application development

This book applies the Deitel signature live-code approach to teaching Web 2.0 application development. The book presents concepts in the context of more than 180 fully tested programs (18,000+ lines of code), complete with syntax shading, detailed descriptions, and sample outputs. It features hundreds of tips that will help you build robust applications.

Start with a concise introduction to XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript before rapidly moving on to more advanced client-side development with DOM, XML, AJAX, JSON, and other RIA technologies. Then proceed to server-side development with web servers, databases, PHP, Ruby on Rails, ASP.NET, JavaServer Faces, and web services. When you're finished, you'll have everything you need to build Web 2.0 applications.

The DEITEL Developer Series is designed for practicing programmers. The series presents focused treatments of emerging technologies, including .NET, Java^TM, web services, Internet and web development, and more.

Practical, example-rich coverage of:

• Web 2.0
• XHTML, CSS, JavaScript
• DOM, XML, RSS
• AJAX-Enabled Rich Internet Applications
• JSON, Dojo, Script.aculo.us
• Adobe^® Flash CS3 and Flex
