Beginning Ajax with PHP: From

Novice to Professional

Dear Reader,

With the emergence of Ajax, gone are the days of clicking and waiting on the

Web. Users now have the luxury of accessing desktop-like applications from any

computer hosting a browser and an Internet connection. Likewise, developers

now have more reason than ever to migrate their applications to an environment

that has the potential for unlimited users.

Yet despite all that Ajax promises, many web developers readily admit being

intimidated by the need to learn JavaScript (a key Ajax technology). Not to

worry! I wrote this book to show PHP users how to incorporate Ajax into their

web applications without necessarily getting bogged down in confusing

JavaScript syntax. I’ve chosen to introduce the topic by way of practical examples

and real-world applications. After a rapid introduction to Ajax fundamentals,

you’ll learn how to effectively use Ajax and PHP together, followed by further

instruction regarding dynamically updating pages using data retrieved from a

MySQL database. From there, you’ll learn how to create practical Ajax-driven

features such as a dynamic file upload and thumbnail-generation tools, culmi￾nating in the creation of an Ajax-based photo gallery.

In later chapters, I focus on other timely topics, such as web services and

building spatially enabled web applications using the Google Maps API. The

book concludes with an overview of topics that will make you a more effective

Ajax developer, including a look at cross-browser issues, security, testing and

debugging, and finally, an introduction to the document object model (DOM).
