Enterprise AJAX: Strategies for Building High Performance Web Applications
by David Johnson, Alexei White, Andre Charland
Overview
"The core technologies of Ajax are quite straightforward; the
hard part is applying them in the real world. Fortunately, the
authors have been putting Ajax into practice since long before the
term ‘Ajax’ was even coined. Enterprise AJAX offers
excellent coverage of issues rarely explained to date, but
frequently encountered by enterprise developers—including
architecting of Ajax applications, and how to deal with such
concerns as usability, security, and reliability."
-DR. MICHAEL MAHEMOFF, PH.D. author of Ajax Design Patterns
(AjaxPatterns.org)
"Just when you thought you knew all you need to know about Ajax,
Dave, Alexei, and Andre force open your cranium and unload a
dumptruck full of Enterprise Ajax techniques, best practices, and
hard-earned expert insight onto your brain. If you want to mix some
serious Ajax into your serious business applications, the solid
information and advice you get from this book will let you do so
with confidence."
-BRENT ASHLEY, Web Developer and Ajax Pioneer
"I can’t think of any better authors for a book on Enterprise
AJAX. The book is sure to be a valuable reference for developers
the world over working on the next generation of web
applications."
-MATT MCKENZIE, Software development manager, LiveCycle, Adobe
Systems Inc.
"A great resource for writing quality, enterprise-level
JavaScript."

BUILD RELIABLE, SCALABLE, ENTERPRISE-CLASS WEB APPLICATIONS WITH
AJAX
Writing for enterprise developers, architects, and user interface
specialists, the authors explain why AJAX offers such great promise
in large-scale development. Next, they systematically introduce
today’s key AJAX techniques and components.
You'll walk through developing frameworks for building AJAX
applications that combine data tables, Web forms, charts, search,
and filtering: the very systems businesses depend on in CRM, ERP,
BI, and beyond. Then, building on this strong foundation, the
authors identify proven AJAX architectural patterns, and present
case studies drawn from actual .NET and Java AJAX applications.
Coverge includes
Using AJAX to implement Model-View-Controller (MVC) in the browser
Encapsulating user interface functionality to facilitate code reuse and reduce cross-browser development problems
Overcoming the unique security challenges associated with AJAX Web applications
Optimizing AJAX usability: the "back" button, caching, bookmarking, offline usage, and beyond
From security to scalability to project risk, this is the only book
to cover all the issues facing AJAX developers in the enterprise.
Whether you’re migrating legacy HTML interfaces or building
new applications from scratch, you’ll find it absolutely
indispensable.
