Beginning Ajax with PHP

Ajax breathes new life into web applications by transparently communicating and manipulating data in conjunction with a server-based technology. Of all the server-based technologies capable of working in conjunction with Ajax, perhaps none are more suitable than PHP, the world’s most popular scripting language.

“Beginning Ajax with PHP: From Novice to Professional” is the first book to introduce how these two popular technologies can work together to create next-generation applications.

Author Lee Babin covers what you commonly encounter in daily web application development tasks, and shows you how to build PHP/AJAX-enabled solutions for forms validation, file upload monitoring, database-driven information display and manipulation, web services, Google Maps integration, and more.

Youll learn how to Take advantage of PHP and advanced JavaScript capabilities to create next-generation, highly responsive Web applications. Enhance commonplace application tasks such as forms validation and tabular data display. Manage cross-browser issues, ensuring your applications run on all major Web browsers.

Take advantage of the Google Maps API and add spatial mapping features to your website. Youll also be introduced to other key topics like conquering cross-platform issues, countering potential security holes, and testing and debugging JavaScript with efficiency. All examples are based on real-world scenarios, so youll be able to apply what you learn to your own development situations.


Ajax for Web Application Developers

Ajax for Web Application Developers

Reusable components and patterns for Ajax-driven applications   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.
