AJAX Programming Introduction

Course Description

This 3-day Ajax Programming Introduction training course will teach students how to make calls to the server with JavaScript and to manipulate JSON and XML content returned from the server. Ajax opens the door to creating sophisticated web-based applications with much more of the logic (and therefore code) handled on the client. While Ajax allows for more dynamic and responsive applications, it changes the traditional role of JavaScript dramatically and forces developers to rethink how they write and manage JavaScript code.
After taking this Ajax Programming training course, students will be able to create sophisticated Ajax-based applications in an efficient and modular way.

The server-side aspects of this class are written in Node.js so that students using any type of operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux) can run the code from their own computer. While it’s helpful to understand the server side, it’s not required or assumed.

A short overview of the Node.js server features(written in JavaScript) are included with the course, for those interested.

Pre-requisites

Students should have a basic understanding of HTML, JavaScript and CSS and possess basic programming skills.

Who is this course for?

Web developers using Ajax and Java, C# or VB developers who need to work with AJAX-based web applications.
