Advanced Ajax Development
This 3-day, hands-on advanced workshop will give the attendee the chance to
develop the skills needed to develop feature-rich web applications that simulate
the current experience of the desktop application user. Building on the attendee’s
knowledge of JavaScript and HTML, this workshop moves quickly into dissection of
the DOM (document object model) and asynchronous JavaScript methods that form
the heart of the Ajax development framework. Using extensive in-class, and
hands-on examples, exercises – and a workshop project – attendees will gain
valuable knowledge and experience in how and why Ajax is becoming one of the
fastest growing web application development solutions today.
Attendees will learn from lecture, demos, and hands-on exercises the details
and intricacies of the DOM that opens every web page element to the control and
manipulation of the developer. They will learn how to utilize the power of the
desktop platform to perform operations that would normally require a round-trip
to the web server, and how to deal with some of the issues that asynchronous
operations bring to the web development environment. Attendees should leave this
workshop with the knowledge and understanding of how to immediately put Ajax to
work in their everyday application development situations.
Who Should Attend
This workshop will be very beneficial to web programmers, web site designers,
content managers, programmers, software engineers, and those that manage such
personnel and projects.
Prerequisites
Experience with web site development using HTML, dynamic HTML, and XML, and 1
year coding experience in JavaScript or VBScript with JavaScript is preferable.
