Intro to Ajax, with Ben Galbraith and Dion Almaer, co-founders, Ajaxian.com

Ajax - called DHTML just a short while ago - has revolutionized web
application development in the short time since the term was coined.


What
is it all about? Why are we excited about a set of capabilities that
has been sitting in our browser for years? What can you do with it? And
how can you do it?


Ideal for entry- to mid-level
developers new to Ajax and designers with some HTML skills, this
session provides an introduction to Ajax and an orientation to the
state of the Ajaxian universe. It demonstrates the basic Ajaxian
techniques through live coding and demonstrates and deconstructs
more-advanced examples of Ajax.


Attendees learn how
the Google Maps UI is built (and why it isn't as hard as it looks) and
how Ajax can improve portals, community sites, and pretty much any
other type of web application.


Furthermore, the
session discusses issues surrounding how to create an Ajax application
that doesn't turn into an unmaintainable pile of hacked-up crap
JavaScript technology, including some focus on debugging techniques.


In this session you will learn:


  • • How to create Ajax applications;
  • • How to effectively debug Ajax applications
