Supercharge your websites with Ajax, even without scripting expertise! This guide helps you implement Ajax immediately, regardless of your experience level. By learning a few essentials and exploring examples, you can utilize the live CD to access plug-and-play code and start enhancing your web projects. The built-in applications function right out of the box, and with Michael Morrison's guidance, you’ll deepen your understanding and learn to customize, extend, and reuse these applications, ultimately building skills to create new ones. The resource includes ten complete applications, allowing you to dynamically load web data, populate lists, tap into RSS feeds, reduce input errors with AutoComplete, create responsive GUIs with real-time validation, and more. You can also build a killer interface for images, present information with pop-ups, provide weather forecasts, and add e-commerce tools like shipping calculators and ratings. The accompanying CD-ROM features all necessary Ajax projects (HTML, JavaScript, and PHP source code) for Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux systems. You can boot the CD as an Ubuntu Linux live CD for immediate access to Ajax projects without setup. It includes tools like the XAMPP Web server, Firefox browser, and Bluefish HTML editor. Add the free software and examples from the CD to follow along with the projects, transitioning from novice to expert in Ajax-enabled web content!
