Ajax in Java Applications

Course ID

06050

Course Description

This course covers Ajax techniques and how they have evolved as a result of web and other new technologies. XML is introduced as the foundation for XHTML documents. The differences between an HTML and XHTML document are discussed as well as formatting XHTML documents using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Students will study JavaScript along with its interaction with the W3C DOM for XML and XHTML and how all of these technologies come together to form the basis of an Ajax application. XMLHttpRequestObject will be studied as a means of communicating with server-side components.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of HTML is a must. Prior programming experience is suggested.

Audience

Application developers interested in building a dynamic and interactive web based application
