Pump Up Your Technical Knowledge
Listen and watch as industry luminaries bring you the latest on Java technologies
Asynchronous JavaScript Technology and XML (Ajax)--called DHTML just a few months ago--has revolutionized (or radically iterated, if you like) web application development in the short year since the term was coined. What is it all about? Why are we excited about a set of capabilities that has been sitting in our browser for years? What can you do with it? And how can you do it? Ajax is a technique for communicating with servers from within a web page without causing a page refresh. This session provides an introduction to Ajax and an orientation to the state of the Ajaxian universe. It demonstrates the basic Ajaxian techniques through live coding and demonstrates and deconstructs more-advanced examples of Ajax. Attendees learn how the Google Maps UI is built (and why it isn't as hard as it looks) and how Ajax can improve portals, community sites, and pretty much any other type of web application. Furthermore, the session discusses issues surrounding how to create an Ajax application that doesn't turn into an unmaintainable pile of hacked-up crap JavaScript technology, including some focus on debugging techniques. The presentation is delivered by Ben Galbraith and Dion Almaer, the cofounders of Ajaxian.com and longtime experienced Java technology developers.
