| About the book | |
Ajax is a relatively new approach to Web development. Since it is neither a new tool nor a different technology, and neither a new language it requires a different style for you to master it, or to be an Ajaxian. A conversational style has been used to help you understand the nuances of Ajax. This book is meant for enthusiastic Web developers who are well-versed with knowledge of the fundamentals of HTTP, HTML, JavaScript, XML, CSS, and DOM. Highlights: | |
