How to create the next generation of cutting-edge web interfaces. Ajax exploded on the scene in the Spring of 2005 when a web site defined the term and Google released Google Maps and GMail, powerful examples of what Ajax can do. Ajax uses familiar web technologies - DHTML, CSS, DOM, and JavaScript - in radically different ways resulting in a much richer user experience.

The key to success lies in knowing how to orchestrate them as a coherent whole, splitting off parts of what is normally done by the server and putting it into the browser for instantaneous response to user input. Ajax allows a new breed of web applications with the rich expressiveness of desktop applications. This book helps developers realize that promise - it explains the big picture and how to unlearn many old coding habits. It explains the design patterns and best practices to create a live interface for the user, not get in his way. It also discusses important Ajax issues: how to make good use of network bandwidth, and how to identify, and avoid, common Ajax pitfalls. The book is aimed at all web developers with prior experience in web technologies, independent of the server technologies used.

Examples of server code in the book are in Java and .NET. The authors are Ajax developers with considerable depth of experience. They are bloggers and JavaRanch moderators.

Dave Crane holds degrees in Chemistry, Parallel Computing and Ecological Economics from Edinburgh University in Scaotland. He has worked with Internet Technologies for the last ten years, primarily with Java technologies such as J2EE, Jini and Jython. He has pushed the boundaries of DHTML - and latterly Ajax - since 1997, in website design, on early Digital TV set-up boxes and in home automation systems. Most recently, he has been senior developer for Smartstream Technologies Ltd., developing highly-interactive Ajax-based application frameworks that are currently in use in many tier-1 banks and financial institutions worldwide. Dave lives in Gloucestershire, UK. Eric Pascarello graduated from Penn State University in 2002 with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. Since then Eric has been employed as a Senior Developer, developing enterprise level applications in ASP.NET. Eric has also writtenJavaScript: Your visual blueprint for Dynamic WebPages, 2nd ed. Eric volunteers his free time as a moderator of the HTML and Java Script forum at www.JavaRanch.com, a friendly online community dedicated to helping people learn Java and other web technologies. He lives in Laurel, MD.

Der Begriff "Ajax" wurde im Februar 2005 geschaffen, ist jedoch nur eine neue schicke Bezeichnung für alten Wein in neuen Schläuchen. Das scheint Grund genug dafür zu sein, dass oberflächliche und technisch nicht akkurate Artikel zu der Technologie inflationär sind. Das Autorentrio gehörte dagegen zu den ersten, die es schafften das Thema in Verbindung mit professioneller Softwareentwicklung zu bringen. Es werden nicht nur die technischen Grundlagen von Ajax erklärt, sondern auch zahlreiche Entwurfsmuster und Best Practices zum Thema entwickelt und vorgestellt. Auch wenn Frameworks wie ASP.NET 3.5 die Implementierung von Ajax-Anwendungen stark vereinfachen, ohne die notwendigen Grundlagen geht es nicht. Der aktuelle Stand der Technik ist zwar weiter gezogen, aber das meiste in diesem Buch ist immer noch gültig und aktuell. Nebenbei war der Titel für die Renaissance von Manning zumindest mitverantwortlich.Christian Wenz
