Top 20 AJAX Tutorials for Beginners
As we all know by now, AJAX
is being used more and becoming more important in web development. AJAX
uses a combination of Javascript and XML to allow web pages to be
updated with new data from the server, without forcing the
user to wait for a page refresh. Web applications can do a
page update without refresh using Javascript, PHP and XML's
XMLHTTPRequest object (also known as 'remote scripting'). As a
deveoper, using AJAX allows you to build web applications
having user interfaces like those of desktop applications, thus
offering the user better experiences.
I have researched the web for the 20 best tutorials to help those new to AJAX get started in this important web development technology. These will hopefully help you to start coding web applications using AJAX and get you up to speed quickly. Some of these will also be helpful for more advanced AJAX developers.
"Understanding Ajax, a productive approach to building Web sites, and how it works"
Mastering Ajax, Part 2: Make asynchronous requests with JavaScript and Ajax
"Use XMLHttpRequest for Web requests"
Simple Introduction to AJAX and XMLHttpRequest
"This tutorial will hopefully give you some idea on how to use the XMLHttpRequest object in your website apps to improve user interactivity and the general functionality of your website."
Creating Live Data with AJAX
"Have you ever seen or wished you could have live data on your website? Have you got data stored in a database that UPDATEs reguarly? This tutorial will explain how you can achieve this effect using AJAX and PHP."
An Introduction to AJAX
Answers these questions: What is Ajax? And its impact? What does it mean? Where did it come from? Just Another Fad? What does it do? How does it do it? How to get started? What has it started?
Nitty Gritty Ajax
"In the course of this tutorial, we're going to look at what Ajax can do. Then we'll use a JavaScript class to simplify your first steps toward the ultimate in speedy user interactivity."
Rasmus’ 30 second AJAX Tutorial
"I find a lot of this AJAX stuff a bit of a hype. Lots of people have been using similar things long before it became “AJAX”. And it really isn’t as complicated as a lot of people make it out to be." MGrove's blog provides a demo and example based on this AJAX tutorial.
Getting Started with Ajax
"For these examples, we are using the XHConn library for simplifying our interaction with XMLHttpRequest(). The XHConn library is freely available at xkr.us/code/javascript/XHConn/ and allows simple access to XMLHttpRequest() by creating a new XHConn object and then initiating its connect() method as you will soon see."
The Ajax “Hello World” project for beginners
"This is the simplest most straightforward demonstration of Ajax technology that I could devise within the ASP.NET environment. It's simplicity is it's strength - it is easy to understand and build from."
Using Ajax
"In this tutorial we'll discuss the basic principles of remote scripting using Ajax, a combination of javascript and XML to allow web pages to be updated with new information from the server, without the user having to wait for a page refresh." Code examples of all important points are provided.
How to Develop Web Applications with Ajax, Part 1
"In this article, I will explain how to retrieve a remote XML file via Ajax to update a web page, and as this series continues, I will discuss more ways that Ajax technology can be used to take your web applications to the next level."
Guide to Using AJAX and XMLHttpRequest from WebPasties
"A good way to think of the XMLHttpRequest object is as you would think of the JavaScript Image object. As we know, with the Image object you can dynamically specify a new URL for the image source without reloading the page. Similarly with the XMLHttpRequest object, you can dynamically specify a URL to get some server data without reloading the page. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate through a series of baby steps just how easy it is to use the XMLHttpRequest object."
AJAX Design Patterns
"In this tutorial we will try to design a community portal as it has a wide range of different components that give a good overview of what is archievable with AJAX, also it should provide you with the basic tools that will help you in more complex applications."
Form validation with AJAX/PHP/MySQL
"Here is a simple, quick way to validate required form fields using AJAX, PHP and MySQL. What we’re going to do is display an error message right of the required field ,and if there are errors, restrict the submit button. And if a user were to skip a required field, or leave it blank, we’ll highlight it along with removing the submit button."
AJAX Generic Form Parser - With Validation
"In this tutorial I’ll show you a simple method to pass any HTML form through AJAX without the need to hard code all form fields into the JavaScript or Server Side Script."
Simple Ajax Functions - Snippets
"I’ve created a list of very common JavaScript functions for Ajax. Instead of creating one function which can handle various tasks depending on passed values, they are split into seperate basic task functions. The reason for this is simplicity."
AJAX Explained
"An introduction to AJAX for ASP.NET applications."
AJAX in Action
"See AJAX in action. In this article we will be talking about AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML). All you need to know right now is that AJAX allows you to make server side calls without doing a postback."
Simple AJAX implementation for ASP.NET Web applications
"This document describes a simple approach of implementing AJAX functionality in ASP.NET web applications. Pros and cons of using AJAX are also discussed. The document contains a working JavaScript and C#.NET code demonstrating the suggested solution."
AJAX Was Here - Part 2: ASP.NET Integration
"The goal of this article is to provide something easy for the server side (ASP.NET) developer to integrate into their code (preferably without a lot of fancy or proprietary workarounds)."
