Reusable components and patterns for Ajax-driven applications
Ajax is one of the latest and greatest ways to improve users’ online experience and create new and innovative web functionality. By allowing specific parts of a web page to be displayed without refreshing the entire page, Ajax significantly enhances the experience of web applications. It also lets web developers create intuitive and innovative interaction processes.
Ajax for Web Application Developers provides the in-depth working knowledge of Ajax that web developers need to take their web applications to the next level. The book shows how to create an Ajax-driven web application from an object-oriented perspective, and it includes discussion of several useful Ajax design patterns.
This detailed guide covers the creation of connections to a MySQL database with PHP 5 via a custom Ajax engine and shows how to gracefully format the response with CSS, JavaScript, and XHTML while keeping the data tightly secure. It also covers the use of four custom Ajax-enabled components in an application and how to create each of them from scratch.
The final section of the book combines the individual code examples and techniques from earlier chapters of the book into one larger, Ajax-driven application–an internal web mail application that can be used in any user-based application, such as a community-based web application. Readers will learn not only how to create and use their own reusable Ajax components in this application
but also how to connect their components to any future Ajax applications that they might build.

The definitive guide to developing large-scale PHP applications, written by the leading authority on the subject.
Introduces both new and experienced Web site administrators to the intricacies of the new Apache 2.0 Web server
An examples-based reference for intermediate-level ColdFusion developers, written by a team of authors with years of experience developing world-class ColdFusion solutions.
The definitive guide to the HTTP protocol for serious Web application developers.
A comprehensive developer's guide to building applications with JavaServer Pages 2.0, the newest version.
Appropriate for all courses in Web development that utilize PHP scripting and MySQL databases.
One step at a time, PHP and MySQL Web Development walks students through the entire process of building dynamic, secure, commercial Web sites and applications with two of the worlds most widely-used open source tools: PHP and MySQL.. Luke Welling and Laura Thomson use the same clear and practical teaching style that has made their two previous editions so popular with students. They have thoroughly updated this edition to reflect the major enhancements in PHP 5 and MySQL 4.x -- especially PHP object-oriented programming, validation, and MySQL stored procedures. The book uses real-world examples and sample projects to show students how to integrate and implement PHP scripts and MySQL databases. It also covers related technologies needed to build a commercial Web site, including SSL, shopping carts, and payment systems. Along the way, the authors introduce a wide range of advanced techniques, including interacting with file systems, generating images, using network and protocol functions, controlling sessions, and more. The final section contains several practical PHP and MySQL projects, including user authentication and personalization, content management systems, Web-based email services, mailing list managers, Web forums, even automatic generation of personalized PDF documents.
A well-organized, high-quality, comprehensive reference to the Perl language designed for experienced Perl programmers.
Appropriate for all courses in Objective-C programming for Apple Mac OS X, where the language is now preinstalled with all copies; and for other environments, such as the GNUstep project running under Linux.
This is a concise, elegant tutorial designed to teach Objective-C to programming students who may be new to Mac OS X, object-oriented programming, or to C itself. Written by Stephen Kochan, author of Unix Shell Programming, Programming in ANSI C, and several other programming classics, this book relies on many small program examples and well-crafted exercises at the end of every chapter, making it ideally suited for classroom use. Kochan covers every facet of Objective-C that students need to become productive and effective. He begins with an overview of object-oriented programming and the concept of classes, then walks through writing a program in Objective-C. Once students are grounded in these basics, he systematically introduces data types and expressions; instance variables; parameters; loops and decision making; subclasses, superclasses, and inheritance; dynamic binding; strings, arrays, dictionaries, and sets; file systems; preprocessing, and more. He also presents a full chapter on underlying C features for students who wish to compare Objective-C to C. The book concludes with an introduction to Mac OS X Cocoa, todays leading Objective-C programming environment. Appendices provide a glossary, a language summary, and more.
