Learn to build dynamic, interactive web applications using the two most
important approaches to web development today: Ajax and the phenomenally
efficient Ruby on Rails platform. This book teaches intermediate to
advanced web developers how to use both Ajax and Rails to quickly build
high-performance, scalable applications without being overwhelmed with
thousands of lines of JavaScript code. More than just recipes, you also
get a thorough, low-level understanding of what's happening under the
hood.
Ajax on Rails includes three fully worked out Rails/Ajax applications,
and quick reference sections for Prototype and script.aculo.us.
Testing lessons show you how to eliminate cross-browser JavaScript
errors and DOM debugging nightmares using a combination of Firebug, and
Venkman.
Advanced material explains the most current design practices for Ajax
usability. You'll learn to avoid user experience mistakes with proven
design patterns.
Beyond the how-to, Ajax on Rails helps you consider when Ajax is (and
isn't) appropriate, and the trade-offs associated with it. For those new
to Rails, this book provides a quick introduction, the big picture, a
walk through the installation process, and some tips on getting started.
If you've already started working with Rails and seek to deepen your
skill set, you'll find dozens of examples drawn from real-world
projects, exhaustive reference for every relevant feature, and expert
advice on how to "Ajaxify" your applications.
