Last week I finished reading AJAX in action, usually I used to read technical books vertically just looking for the information I want but this time I spend much more time. About 680 pages written by Dave CRANE and Eric PASCARELLO with Darren JAMES and published by Manning Publication Co.
AJAX in Action is interesting to read for beginners looking to get started with AJAX and also for advanced developers looking for any detail related to the developpment of RIA (rich internet applications) such patterns, performance, security … etc. Designers will find also many useful information to create a better web experience for users. And of course there is many excellent examples to better understand the different aspect of AJAX development.
The book is briefly in four sections beginning by the introduction of AJAX and the new design for the web from theory, the fundamental principles to practice and AJAX in real world. Then the first steps with AJAX with an introduction to the technologies behind, CSS, DOM, XMLHttpRequest, and how to put all this together. And finally the development and maintenance of large AJAX client codebase, exploring the different patterns used with AJAX, a focus on MVC pattern and an overview of third party AJAX libraries.Read More
