AJAX

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, or AJAX, is at the cutting edge of Web based Graphical User Interface (GUI) technology. AJAX greatly enhances the responsiveness of Web based GUIs, giving them the feel of more traditional desktop applications. AJAX has become an integral part of Web GUI solutions for such industry leaders as Google and Microsoft. AJAX is not a single technology but rather a melding of several technologies. It uses a combination of XHTML, XML, and JavaScript on the browser and any set of server side technologies such as Java and .NET. This class provides an introduction to AJAX using a combination of lectures and hands on lab work. Participants will create a working Web GUI using AJAX and acquire the basic skills needed to implement AJAX solutions. The server side work will be done in Java. .NET will not be covered in this class. Participants are expected to have a working knowledge of Java comprised of one year of professional Java experience or to have successfully completed either Beginning Java or Accelerated Java from SPSU. Topics Covered: JavaScript, XHTML forms, XML, Server side processing using Java, Servlets, and POJO.

Prerequisite: Beginning Java and Advanced Java or 1 year Java programming or SPSU´s Java Programming: Parts 1 and 2.
