Ajax is hot news for developers! With examples like Google Maps, Google Suggest, Gmail, and Tada List, we have highly dynamic web applications that are nearly as feature rich as their thick client brethren. Using the Ajax techniques in this book, you can provide your customers with the rich user experience they have come to expect while still enjoying the ease of deployment you´ve come to expect of web applications. In this Ajax book you will also learn that browser-based applications have none of the complex distribution problems that plague thick-client applications. Once a browser-based application is deployed to the Web server, it is available to all users without the need for a costly, complex, and error-prone installation process. Browser-based applications are accessible from any platform with a modern Web browser, whether the operating system is Windows, Unix, Mac OS X, or Linux. As the authors point out in this book, an Ajax application is very similar to the web applications we´re already familiar with. It´s made from many of the same components and operates in the same way and to the same standards. The difference is that it incorporates an ´´Ajax engine´´ that negates the start-stop nature of traditional web interaction and drives the whole process along. A quick look at an Ajax application like Google Maps will demonstrate the difference to the user experience very clearly. Gone are the constant page-refreshes and instead the user is presented with a smooth, responsive interface that seamlessly reacts to their requests.

Ajax burst onto the Web development scene by offering highly interactive, desktop-like Web applications that can be deployed through any modern Web browser without the need for special plug-ins. Ajax is built on existing Web technologies such as JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, and it is used in conjunction with your favorite server-side language. Foundations of Ajax explains how to combine these technologies effectively to implement Ajax into your new or existing Web applications. Like you, we are developers who are in the trenches, tasked with building Web-enabled applications that provide real value to our customers. As the Web continues to grow, the demand for more expressive and engaging interfaces will continue to increase. Much of the early hype surrounding Ajax centered on its use by Internet powerhouses such as Google and Amazon. However, just because the initial forays into Ajax were pioneered by leading software development firms doesn't mean your application wouldn't also benefit from these techniques. You already know how to develop Web applications, so this book uses specific, focused examples to teach the Ajax tools and techniques you'll need to bring your applications to life. Armed with this book and your existing development expertise, you too will be able to apply Ajax techniques to your application to enrich the end users experience. When we first saw the potential of Ajax, we knew we had to start leveraging it for our own applications. Along the way weve learned some hard-earned knowledge that we thought needed to be shared with the rest of the development community. With this book, you'll be able to easily extend your own applications with Ajax and have fun while doing it. We hope that someday well be reading about your great Ajax-enabled application!
