TSM on 'AJAX' on Sat, 18th Feb 2005 at 10 am

The topic for the next TWINCLING Saturday Meet (TSM) is
AJAX - Asynchronous JavaScript and XML

Ajax is a web development technique for creating dynamic, interactive and richer Web client applications.
The intent is to -

  • shift great deal of the interaction to the Client machine (ie. user's computer).

  • exchange data with the webserver behind the scenes, so page reload does not happen for every change.

  • increase page interactivity, speed and usability.


The focus of the TSM will be -

  • understand Ajax architecture

  • introduce and discuss key technology components
    - XHTML (markup)
    - CSS (styling)
    - DOM (object tree)
    - JavaScript (script, event handling, controller)
    - XMLHttpRequest (exchange data asynchronously)
    - XML (dataset)

  • Ajax design patterns
    - nested MVC
    - display manipulation
    - dynamic behaviour
    - web remoting
    - browser-server dialogue
    - DOM population, manipulation

  • Ajax pros and cons

  • Lots of live demos to highlight and explain the concepts


You are invited for this interactive and exciting session.
