This intensive, hands-on, four-day AJAX training class emphasizes becoming productive quickly as a Java AJAX developer. It starts with an introduction to using JavaScript and XMLHttpRequest. It includes in-depth coverage of programming with AJAX to send and retrieve data to and from a server, updating a Web page with JavaScript, and using CSS to modify the look of a Web page. The class also includes detailed coverage of how to handle AJAX requests using Servlets/JSP and Java Web applications. Generation of HTML, XML and JSON from Java, as well as the use of various other server-side AJAX techniques are covered. In addition, the class provides extensive coverage on using frameworks – both client side JavaScript and server side Java – to support the complex programming that AJAX requires.
