Ajax is one of the latest and greatest ways to improve users’ online experience and create new and innovative web functionality. By allowing specific parts of a web page to be displayed without refreshing the entire page, Ajax significantly enhances the experience of web applications. It also lets web developers create intuitive and innovative interaction processes.

Ajax for Web Application Developers provides the in-depth working knowledge of Ajax that web developers need to take their web applications to the next level. The book shows how to create an Ajax-driven web application from an object-oriented perspective, and it includes discussion of several useful Ajax design patterns.

This detailed guide covers the creation of connections to a MySQL database with PHP 5 via a custom Ajax engine and shows how to gracefully format the response with CSS, JavaScript, and XHTML while keeping the data tightly secure. It also covers the use of four custom Ajax-enabled components in an application and how to create each of them from scratch.

The final section of the book combines the individual code examples and techniques from earlier chapters of the book into one larger, Ajax-driven application–an internal web mail application that can be used in any user-based application, such as a community-based web application. Readers will learn not only how to create and use their own reusable Ajax components in this application but also how to connect their components to any future Ajax applications that they might build.

Nice, I'm always up for an eBook, and Ajax is fairly swank. Quite a few websites I know use it.

AJAX has been out for a while its not that new.

Whats with all the links all of a sudden? are you getting commission?

heeeey, Pugsley makes a point. I small a dirty scheme....

If your referring to the links at the bottom of the page, they are sponsoring the website.
Due to domain registration fees, paid web hosting etc, those links keep this site up. This is a non-profit website, anything made from this site goes back into this site. e.g. Competitons, Email accounts

Once the major webhosting fee is paid off, I would like to remove the bottom advertising and just have the neat looking google ads, which actually contain useful information.

No i was referring to michaels rapidshare files that he is posting. i think its like 3 books so far.

Nah no commision, I just like to share useful things.

As do I. My eBook directory is almost at a GB. I share these things at LANs. I'm always at the OWL, www.onewaylan.com, admin and all that.

nah, he likes collecting points to keep his premium account running..
eitherway, thanks for the linky, will add it to my downloads list (as a premium user ) when i get home.
