Ajax Tutorials
Here are 2 Ajax Tutorials from dev2dev.bea.com, which bills itself as "By developers, For developers".
This first one is "An Introduction to Ajax", and will give you a good grounding in understanding what Ajax is and what it can do for your applications.
This article introduces a methodology, Ajax, you can use to build more
dynamic and responsive Web applications. The key lies in the
combination of browser-side JavaScript, DHTML, and asynchronous
communication with the server. This article also demonstrates just how
easy it is to start using this approach, by leveraging an Ajax
framework (DWR) to construct an application that communicates with
backend services directly from the browser. If used properly, this
tremendous power allows your application to be more natural and
responsive to your users, thereby providing an improved browsing
experience. The sample code used in this application is available for
download as a standalone WAR file.
The second on is titled "Developing Ajax Applications That Preserve Standard Browser Functionality".
This article begins with an explanation of why the back/forward button
and other browser functionality will not work unless explicitly built
into an Ajax application. The article will then outline how developers
can address these issues. Finally, it looks in detail at how the
Backbase Ajax engine provides support for the back/forward button and
other standard browser functionality.
