Ajax has gained much attention on the web and provides unique and powerful ways of dealing with data in real-time. It is bringing desktop applications to the browser by providing on demand data transfers without page refreshes and providing feedback to users in a manner that was never achievable in standard web applications. In this book, readers will learn about the technologies used to create Ajax, their importance in the process and how to create a reusable, scalable Ajax engine for professional development. They will learn how to create their own custom Ajax components that can be reused across multiple projects and connected with different data sources, such as databases, xml or other text-based files. They will also learn how to create database connections and multi-user applications while following identified design patterns, exchange data with other technologies, such as PHP and ColdFusion, and implement security into their Ajax applications for practical real world development.
