Book excerpt: Market_Desc: · Professional Web Developers Special Features: · Wrox!· The first book to cover the many Web 2.0 approaches (Ajax, Ruby on Rails, service oriented applications, and more) in one place and with a unified vision for developers implementing them· Implementing these ideas well requires a different approach to developing web applications - whether the developer is working with one or several of the web 2.0 components - and that approach is a central unifying theme of the book· Stresses how to get the many Web 2.0 technologies - XHTML, CSS, Javascript, XML, RSS, server programming - to work together rather than teaching each of them individually· Written by a respected member of the open standards community and experienced author About The Book: After beginning by showing the links between the business requirements and the attempt to provide better Web 2.0 user experience, Professional Web 2.0 Programming dives into code with several example application parts built with popular frameworks such as Ruby on Rails and Orbeon Presentation Server. It then moves on to some of the core client-side Web 2.0 techniques followed by an investigation of how clients and servers communicate and finishing with the details on server side techniques.
