Book Description

This book demonstrates how to build browser-based applications that function like desktop programs, using sophisticated server-aware approaches that give users information when they need it. You'll explore what can be done with Ajax to enhance sites and give them a Web 2.0 feel, and how additional JavaScript enhancements can turn a web browser and web site into a true application.

Once finishing this book, You'll not only learn how to write "functional" code, but also master design patterns for writing rocksolid, high-performance Ajax applications. You'll also learn how to use frameworks such as Ruby on Rails to get the job done fast. More details, you will
