Step-by-step guide reveals best practices for enhancing Web sites with
Ajax
- A step-by-step guide to enhancing Web sites with Ajax.
- Uses progressive enhancement techniques to ensure graceful degradation (which
makes sites usable in all browsers).
- Shows readers how to write their own Ajax scripts instead of relying on
third-party libraries.
Web site designers love the idea of Ajax--of creating Web pages in which information
can be updated without refreshing the entire page. But for those who aren't
hard-core programmers, enhancing pages using Ajax can be a challenge. Even more
of a challenge is making sure those pages work for all users. In Bulletproof
Ajax, author Jeremy Keith demonstrates how developers comfortable with CSS and
(X)HTML can build Ajax functionality without frameworks, using the ideas of
graceful degradation and progressive enhancement to ensure that the pages work
for all users. Throughout this step-by-step guide, his emphasis is on best practices
with an approach to building Ajax pages called Hijax, which improves flexibility
and avoids worst-case scenarios.
