One of those libraries has risen near the top in the Java space, and that library is DWR. DWR, or Direct Web Remoting, allows you to treat your Java classes running on the server as if they were local objects running in the browser, bringing the full power of your server–side business logic to the client without the usual problems that entails. http://www.developerfusion.com/book/18178/practical-dwr-2-projects-experts-voice-in-java/ http://www.developerfusion.com/book/18178/practical-dwr-2-projects-experts-voice-in-java/ Fri, 25 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT James Crowley Ajax is a web development technique that takes advantage of JavaScript to display and interact dynamically with information embedded into a web page. Its emergence has made it possible to create web applications that closely resemble their desktop–based brethren. http://www.developerfusion.com/book/17952/accelerated-gwt-building-enterprise-google-web-toolkit-applications/ http://www.developerfusion.com/book/17952/accelerated-gwt-building-enterprise-google-web-toolkit-applications/ Mon, 19 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT James Crowley If you're a web developer with previous JavaScript and DOM scripting experience, Accelerated DOM Scripting with Ajax, APIs, and Libraries is perfect for you to take your knowledge up to the next level. This book is about JavaScript and using the document object model—the conduit to the HTML document. This book is not about learning how to program JavaScript from scratch. http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44347/accelerated-dom-scripting-with-ajax-apis-and-libraries/ http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44347/accelerated-dom-scripting-with-ajax-apis-and-libraries/ Thu, 27 Sep 2007 00:00:00 GMT James Crowley Ajax breathes new life into web applications by transparently communicating and manipulating data in conjunction with a server-based technology. Of all the server-based technologies capable of working in conjunction with Ajax, perhaps none are more suitable than PHP, the world's most popular scripting language. Beginning Ajax with PHP: From Novice to Professional is the first book to introduce how these two popular technologies can work together to create next-generation applications. http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44253/beginning-ajax-with-php-from-novice-to-professional/ http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44253/beginning-ajax-with-php-from-novice-to-professional/ Mon, 16 Oct 2006 00:00:00 GMT James Crowley The main focus of Pro Web 2.0 Application Development with GWT is a case study of a real Web 2.0 application called ToCollege.net. What you’ll learn: You’ll take a full tour of a modern Web 2.0 startup’s codebase. That’s 15,000 lines of source code that includes everything from Google Gears integration to Acegi OpenID, Lucene full–text search, and Google Maps, all of it integrated with GWT 1.5. http://www.developerfusion.com/book/17989/pro-web-20-application-development-with-gwt-experts-voice-in-web-development/ http://www.developerfusion.com/book/17989/pro-web-20-application-development-with-gwt-experts-voice-in-web-development/ Wed, 07 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT James Crowley If you want to get into developing web sites, the most important thing you need is a solid understanding of Hypertext Markup Language, or HTML—the language that the majority of web site content is written in. Beginning HTML with CSS and XHTML: Modern Guide and Reference incorporates practical examples that will show you how to structure your data correctly using (X)HTML, along with styling and layout basics using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS http://www.developerfusion.com/book/31283/beginning-html-with-css-and-xhtml-modern-guide-and-reference-beginning-from-novice-to-professional/ http://www.developerfusion.com/book/31283/beginning-html-with-css-and-xhtml-modern-guide-and-reference-beginning-from-novice-to-professional/ Mon, 25 Jun 2007 00:00:00 GMT James Crowley As a JavaScript developer, you will already be aware of some of the time saving, convenience, and functionality provided to you by JavaScript/Ajax libraries in general. Prototype (www.prototypejs.org) and its sister effects library, script.aculo.us (/), are among the most popular and best–supported JavaScript libraries, and now Prototype Core dev team member Andrew Dupont has written this book to provide you with an essential guide to getting the most out of using Prototype and script. http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44363/practical-prototype-and-scriptaculous-experts-voice-in-web-development/ http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44363/practical-prototype-and-scriptaculous-experts-voice-in-web-development/ Mon, 23 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT James Crowley JavaScript is one of the most important technologies on the web. It provides the means to add dynamic functionality to your web pages and serves as the backbone of Ajax-style web development. Beginning JavaScript with DOM Scripting and Ajax is an essential guide for modern JavaScript programming; its practical but comprehensive. It covers everything you need to know to get up to speed with JavaScript development to add dynamic enhancements to web pages and program Ajax-style applications. http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44281/beginning-javascript-with-dom-scripting-and-ajax-from-novice-to-professional-beginning-from-novice-to-professional/ http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44281/beginning-javascript-with-dom-scripting-and-ajax-from-novice-to-professional-beginning-from-novice-to-professional/ Fri, 14 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMT James Crowley The open source, lightweight Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is a framework that allows Java developers to build Rich Internet Applications (RIA), more recently called Ajax applications, in Java. Typically, writing these applications requires a lot of JavaScript development. However, Java and JavaScript are very distinctively different languages (although the name suggests otherwise), therefore requiring a different development process. http://www.developerfusion.com/book/31299/beginning-google-web-toolkit-from-novice-to-professional-beginning-from-novice-to-professional/ http://www.developerfusion.com/book/31299/beginning-google-web-toolkit-from-novice-to-professional-beginning-from-novice-to-professional/ Wed, 17 Sep 2008 00:00:00 GMT James Crowley
