Practical JavaScript, DOM, and Ajax Projects is ideal for web developers already
experienced in JavaScript who want to take their knowledge to the next level.
It presents ten complete example projects for you to learn from and adapt for
use in your own work.
The book starts with a quick recap of the fundamentals of modern JavaScript
development before moving right along to the applications. For each application,
you are taken through the planning, design, and implementation stages. There’s
something for everyone here—a utility library, a validation framework,
a GUI widget framework, a dynamic event calendar application, a drag-and-drop
shopping cart, and more!
Over the course of the book, author Frank Zammetti covers JavaScript best practices,
Ajax techniques, and some of the most popular JavaScript libraries, such as
Prototype, Script.aculo.us, and the Yahoo YUI. One of the main premises of this
book is to help you learn by example so you can then apply your knowledge to
your own projects. This book will save you countless hours of development time
and help further your JavaScript knowledge!

About the Author
Frank W. Zammetti is a web architect specialist for a leading worldwide financial
company by day, and a PocketPC and open-source developer by night. He is the
founder and chief software architect of Omnytex Technologies, a PocketPC development
house.
He has over 12 years of “professional” experience in the IT field,
and over 12 more of “amateur” experience. He began his nearly life-long
love of computers at age 7 when he became one of four students chosen to take
part in the school district’s pilot computer program. A year later, he
was the only participant left! The first computer Frank owned was a Timex Sinclair
1000 in 1982, on which he wrote a program to look up movie times for all of
Long Island (and without the 16k expansion module!). After that, he moved on
to a Commodore 64 and spent about 4 years doing nothing but assembly programming
(games mostly). He finally got his first IBM-compatible PC in 1987, and began
learning the finer points of programming (as they existed at that time!).
Frank has primarily developed web-based applications for about 8 years. Before
that, he developed Windows-based client/server applications in a variety of
languages. Frank holds numerous certifications including SCJP, MCSD, CNA, i-Net+,
A+, CIW, MCP, and numerous BrainBench certifications. He is a contributor to
a number of open source projects, including DataVision, Struts, PocketFrog,
and Jakarta Commons. In addition, Frank has started two projects: Java Web Parts
and The Struts Web Services Enablement Project. He also was one of the founding
members of a project that created the first fully functioning Commodore 64 emulator
for PocketPC devices (PocketHobbit).
Frank has authored various articles on topics that range from integrating DataVision
into web apps, to using Ajax in Struts-based applications. He is currently working
on a new application framework specifically geared to creating next-generation
web applications.
