Tired of getting swamped in the nitty-gritty of cross-browser, Web
2.0-grade JavaScript?
Get
back in the game with Prototype and
script.aculo.us, two extremely popular JavaScript libraries, that make
it a walk in the park.
Be it
AJAX, drag and drop, auto-completion,
advanced visual effects, or many other great features, all you need is
write one or two lines of script that look so
good they could almost
pass for Ruby code!
Web applications are getting richer and richer, with more interaction
baked in every day.
But JavaScript, DOM, CSS and a full host of other
Web standards are quite complex, and the result isn't always browser
compliant.
The Prototype and script.aculo.us libraries are veritable
treasure troves, smoothing over all the usual nitty-gritty differences
between
browsers, and making most common features a breeze to implement.
With this book, you can quickly wield the whole power of these
extraordinary libraries.
Dive into Prototype, the library that makes
JavaScript so much more powerful, and it looks a lot like Ruby
code.
Exploring the DOM, handling events, taming AJAX, and radically
simplifying most of your scripting code: it all becomes easy-and very
portable-with Prototype.
When it comes to advanced UI features,
script.aculo.us is every web developer's dream come true: whether
you
need to create auto-completed text inputs, implement in-place editors,
provide customized drag-and-drop behaviors, capture your users'
attention with visual effects or simply build DOM fragments more
efficiently, it's all there, and lightweight too.
This book guides you
through all the details of these features, letting you use many
technologies on the server side, such as PHP, vanilla Ruby, and Ruby On
Rails, in
countless examples illustrating every aspect.
Power users will
also learn the design philosophies of the libraries, and how to
contribute to them and augment them for their own needs.
