Beginning
Ajax with PHP: From Novice to Professional is the first book to
introduce how these two popular technologies can work together to
create next-generation applications. Author Lee Babin covers what you
commonly encounter in daily web application development tasks, and
shows you how to build PHP/AJAX-enabled solutions for forms validation,
file upload monitoring, database-driven information display and
manipulation, web services, Google Maps integration, and more. You'll
learn how to
* Take advantage of PHP and advanced JavaScript capabilities to create next-generation, highly responsive Web applications.
* Enhance commonplace application tasks such as forms validation and tabular data display.
* Manage cross-browser issues, ensuring your applications run on all major Web browsers.
* Take advantage of the Google Maps API and add spatial mapping features to your website.
You'll also be introduced to other key topics like conquering
cross-platform issues, countering potential security holes, and testing
and debugging JavaScript with efficiency. All examples are based on
real-world scenarios, so you'll be able to apply what you learn to your
own development situations.
