Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript And XML) is the technology that drives modern “Web 2.0” web applications. Using certain features of the long neglected JavaScript language, web applications may behave just like their desktop counterparts, so you have the best of both worlds: the easy deployment of web applications and usability features a browser is not supposed to provide.
This half-day tutorial brings you up on speed with Ajax. You will first learn how JavaScript may be used to exchange data with the server and embed the results into the page, without page reloads. We will then discuss common usability issues of Ajax applications, and how to fix them. Finally, we will survey techniques to test Ajax applications. PHP will finally glue all pieces together.
