This "learn by example" book offers 10 complete JavaScript projects that will save web developers countless hours of development time. These projects can serve as samples to learn from and/or be adapted for use in other projects. The 10 projects all address common needs in modern web applications, including a utility library, a validation framework, a GUI widget framework, a dynamic event calendar application, a drag and drop shopping cart, and more! Coverage details JavaScript best practices, Ajax techniques, and some of the most popular JavaScript libraries, such as Prototype, Script.aculo.us, and the Yahoo YUI library.

Practical DWR Web 2.0 Projects addresses the needs of most developers who would rather learn by example and by doing. This book contains several projects that developers can sink their teeth into doing. Written by accomplished Ajax and Java Web developer and author, Frank Zammetti, this book explores DWR and all it offers. It features six full, working applications that use DWR. This book allows you to lean by example, as you tear the applications apart, you see what makes them tick, and even discover how to extend them at your own pace.

The era of professional JavaScript development has arrived! Gone are the days when writing all the client–side code for your applications by hand yourself was the norm. Gone are the days when scrounging around the Internet to find a snippet of code to do something you need could lead to either decent code or utter garbage that you'd surely regret using later. No, writing high–quality JavaScript these days is a whole lot easier with the advent of top–notch libraries that save you time and effort, and one that stands out from most others is Dojo. Dojo is a library like few others: written by some of the best JavaScript coders around today, providing nearly everything you'll need to write modern rich Internet applications, all in one place. From Ajax to widgets, to client–side persistence and language extensions, and many points in between, Dojo has it all. In Practical Dojo Projects, you'll learn all about what Dojo has to offer. You'll see it in action in the form of five fully functional applications, which include A contact manager for storing info for all the important people in your life A code cabinet: a place to store, index, and get code snippets from A stock tracker to keep track of your stock portfolio A message forum for open discussions on topics you define Even a fun little game! By the time you've finished reading, you'll have a firm grasp on what Dojo is all about, and you'll have the preparation you need to begin to use it yourself in your own projects. See you inside!

This book will save Java developers countless hours of development time by providing seven complete Ajax applications to learn from and adapt for use in their own projects. The applicaions include an online calendaring/scheduling system, a FlickrTM-style photo gallery application, and an Ajax role-playing game. The book also details the set-up of a perfect Java/Ajax development environment in which to construct the applications; Java technologies covered include Apache, Ant, Ajax Tags, Struts, Prototype, DWR, Dojo, and more. This is the first book of its kind, aimed at Java/Ajax developers.

Popfly was created as a tool for designers to build mashups in a visual manner, rapidly, without needing to know any code. By simply dragging out "blocks" that represent services such as Flickr onto your workspace and then drawing connection lines between them, you can create a mashup. It’s as easy as that! Get Popfly and Silverlight up and running on your computer, and then learn how to use the Popfly Mashup Creator and Popfly Web Page Creator to share your mashups with the world. Author Eric Griffin will introduce you to Popfly and show you everything you need to start creating your own hybrid web applications.

Pro Web 2.0 Application Development by Jeff Dwyer is the first book on professional Web 2.0 principles that includes the Google Web Toolkit (GWT). GWT is one of the leading Java Ajax frameworks in market, and is very hot in terms of relative growth; it can be integrated with other broader Java frameworks like JBoss Seam and possibly Spring. The book's focus on a single, extremely rich, example "killer application" is what sets this apart from other GWT titles.
