Learn the fundamentals of modern dynamic website design using Javascript and AJAX techniques. Websites are no longer limited to static, single-serving pages. A professional use of Javascript improves the usability and design of your web application, making for a more responsive, richer interaction. Successfully used by sites ranging from Google to Flickr, Facebook to Yahoo!, AJAX has become a standard and valuable tool of web 2.0 developers and designers.
In this workshop we’ll cover the fundamentals of the Javascript Language and AJAX programming. Students will learn to leverage existing AJAX libraries to create standards based, cross-browser page effects and web application features. By the end we’ll be consuming web services and creating mash-up websites. These techniques can be used in conjunction with any modern server-side platform or framework, from .NET to Java Enterprise, from Ruby on Rails to PHP.
This workshop is designed for web developers and designers. No specific server-side development experience is required, but attendees should have basic programming skills and familiarity with at least one programming language such as PHP, Visual Basic, Java, or Ruby. Attendees must be proficient with HTML, CSS and have a basic understanding of XML and Javascript.
