8. Putting It All Together

Building a Better Bookshop

So far you've learned about these key areas:

  • The code required for Ajax interaction
  • The principle of progressive enhancement
  • Design challenges posed by Ajax

In this chapter, I put all of that theory to the test. It's time to build an Ajax application.

I'm using PHP to create this application, but you can use any server-side language. Don't worry if you don't understand PHP. Understanding the language I'm using isn't as important as following the underlying concepts.
