Product Description
A practical tutorial to using Microsoft AJAX to enhance the user experience of your ASP.NET web applications covering the most up to date versions of the AJAX tools.
Microsoft AJAX Library Essentials is a practical reference for the client-side library of the ASP.NET AJAX Framework 1.0, and a tutorial for the underlying technologies and techniques required to use the library at its full potential. The main goal of this book is to get you comfortable with the Microsoft AJAX Library, a huge set of functions that can be used for developing powerful client-side functionality.
Beginning with a hands-on tour of the basic technologies associated with AJAX, JavaScript, XMLHttpRequest, JSON, and the DOM, you'll move on to a crash course in the Microsoft AJAX tools. You will learn, through numerous step-by-step exercises, how to create basic AJAX applications, how the object-based programming model of JavaScript works, and how Microsoft AJAX Library extends this model. You'll understand the architecture of the Microsoft AJAX components, how they all fit together, and exactly what they can do for you. Then you will learn how to use the Microsoft AJAX Library in your web projects, and a detailed case study will walk you through creating your own customized client components.
At every stage of your journey, you'll be able to try out examples to illuminate the theory, and consolidate your understanding. In addition to learning about the client and server controls, you'll also see how to handle errors and debug your AJAX applications.
To complement your new found skills, the book ends with a visual reference of the Microsoft AJAX Library namespaces and classes, including diagrams and quick explanations for all the classes mentioned in the book, providing an invaluable reference you will turn to again and again. - A rapid and practical guide to including AJAX features in your .NET applications
- Learn practical development strategies and techniques
- Go through a case study that demonstrates the theory you learned throughout the book.
This book has been written for ASP.NET developers entering the world of the ASP.NET AJAX Framework, and for existing ASP.NET AJAX developers looking for a more detailed tutorial on the client-side of the framework: the Microsoft AJAX Library.
Customer Reviews & Comments
This is good book to get if you want to use a JavaScript library for AJAX which is designed to be similar to the .NET Framework in its use of namespaces and classes. The Microsoft AJAX Library is the best choice for ASP.NET developers and this book is an excellect reference guide to using it. In addition, it provides an overview of advanced JavaScript OOP language features and concepts. I appreciated the extensive listing of online resources for advanced JavaScript tutorials, reference guides, and debugging tools. I learned about many that I did not know about and it included some obscure resources that I was familiar with. In other words, the authors clearly did their homework and were very thorough. The sample code included detailed explanations of what the code does so you can easily follow it. They even used class diagrams to document the JavaScript classes which qualifies as extra effort since you cannot produce these diagrams using any JavaScript tools. They had to recreate them in C#. I was quite impressed by the authors' technical expertise.
