AJAX, short for Asynchronous Java Script and XML,
is a web development framework that is being used to
achieve interactivity between users and servers through multiple client sided
server connections. In this new web development model, the
single-page web interface is composed of individual components which
can be updated independently of each other. By using AJAX,
developers can create web
applications in browsers, thus leading to the decline of traditional
based desktop applications. AJAX is leading
Web programming towards Web 2.0, the next generation of
using and developing for the Web. JavaScript is at the heart of AJAX,
and writing an AJAX application requires good
experience with JavaScript.
Here are 4 AJAX
Training and Implementation Documents that will
give you a greater understanding of AJAX and demonstrate how to
implement applications using it and how to migrate your web
applications to this technology.
The
training document evaluates and discusses AJAX, and it's technical
components and concepts are outlined. It also goes over
Web 2.0 and the history of Web Services, gives examples and builds your
understanding of the principles of the asynchronous Java Script and XML
technology by reviewing the concepts behind some AJAX coding examples.
The
first chapter provdes an introduction to Web programming, then chapter
2 gives a description of the details of AJAX. Chapter 3 shows
more implementation details and technical aspects, while
chapter 4 describes implementation source code, and chapter 5 gives a
review of the material covered and offers a look at the future of AJAX.
Excellent references are linked to at the end of this document.

Migrating
web-based systems and applications to single-page AJAX applications is
a new challenge many developers and IT departments are facing today.
The first step to is know and understand the navigation and user
interface (UI) structure of the source application. This document
explains a technique using schema-based clustering that
documents the navigational model of web applicaitons, and then lists
its UI components that need to be migrated to a single-page AJAX
interface. Also, a case study is given to
help evaluate this web migration tool. pdf
document (14 pages)
Migrating
applications to AJAX requires a detailed level of knowledge of
JavaScript and this sometimes makes it difficult to write AJAX
applications. This paper first discusses the benefits of AJAX
and compares it to other development frameworks, and
specifically Java applets. A code migration framework is then
described that permits the developer to write AJAX
applications in Java. Using this framework, the Java application is
automatically translated to JavaScript and then migrated to the browser
for execution. The programmer does not need to know or code using any
JavaScript. Also, programming in Java allows the use of debugging tools
not available for JavaScript. A prototype is freely available
under an Open Source license. Some good references are listed at the
end. (pdf format,14 pages)
Learn
how to use the UsaProxy HTTP proxy to obtain information about
user activity from web-based AJAX applications. UsaProxy is a
special-purpose
HTTP proxy which modifies HTML pages before forwarding them to the
client browser. It adds JavaScript code which collects data about mouse
movement, clicks, key presses and other types of interaction without
affecting the user’s application experience. Gmail
is demonstrated
as an example AJAX application, and the authors
explain how
to set up a test using UsaProxy and how to
understand the log data written by it. (pdf format, 4 pages)

Ruby on Rails provides an excellent, very efficient, and
compelling development framework for building Web applications. Ruby
is the free, simple, extensible, portable,
interpreted scripting language for quick-and-easy object-oriented
programming. Rails
is a full-stack, open source Web framework in Ruby for writing
real-world applications using less code. Rails uses
reflection and runtime extensions instead of configuration
files
and
annotations, and its tool set is very well integrated. Using Ruby on
Rails makes it easier to build web applications having custom and
unusual requirements. You can download the open source Ruby on Rails Web
framework and you can get Ruby
from the project Web site.
I have researched IBM's developerworks web site for
their best Ruby On Rails Tutorials.
I found nine of them - here they are, linked and described
below.
These will help you both to get started using Ruby On Rails
and to
improve your current Ruby on Rails skills.

Best Ruby On Rails Tutorials from IBM
Fast-track
your Web apps with Ruby on Rails This
tutorial explains what the the components of Rails are and steps you
through how they work. The
Ruby-based framework for rapid development here uses a
model-view-controller
pattern.
What's
the Secret Sauce in Ruby on Rails? Lessons
we can learn from the Rails framework. This tutorial article discusses
the design decisions that were made when putting together the
Ruby
on Rails framework and why it is very
productive within its niche. Then it reviews several Rails-inspired
programming concepts that will be of interest to Java developers.
Streamlined,
Part 1 Streamlined
is a new open source framework
based on Ruby on Rails that brings together the power of Ajax,
metaprogramming, code generation, and Ruby on Rails,
raising productivity using Rails even higher. This first of
a two-part tutorial discusses
improvements to Ruby on Rails scaffolding, a Rails feature that reduces
repetition during early development stages. Part 1 illustrates Rails
scaffolding's limitations and introduces Streamlined, a code generator
that uses highly effective metaprogramming techniques to eliminate
higher-order repetition. Part 2 will delve more deeply into
Streamlined's metaprogramming model and customization features.
Streamlined,
Part 2 Discover Streamlined's metamodel
and customization strategies. Part
1
of this two-tutorial series introduced Streamlined, a Rails-based open
source framework that combines the power of Ajax, metaprogramming, and
code generation to take Rails productivity to a new level. Part 2
explores how the metamodel behind Streamlined enables customizations.
Rails
Migrations This tutorial article looks
at Rails schema migrations,
a method of separating each database schema change from the base
object model. This tutorial reviews Rails's solution for dealing with
changes to a production
database. Migrations are a simple and powerful technique to synchronize
schema changes and data changes using a wrapping approach.
Make
Ruby on Rails easy with RadRails and Eclipse RadRails
is the Eclipse-based IDE for Ruby on Rails. In this tutorial you will
be shown how to install
RadRails, learn about the structure and use of the application window,
and learn the fundamentals in developing an application. It
assumes you
already know how to develop Web
apps using Ruby on Rails, so it teaches and explains only the IDE
itself.
Ajax
on Rails This
tutorial will show you why Ajax works so well with Ruby. Ruby
on
Rails is growing like Ajax, partly on the strength of its
excellent
Ajax integration. Discover why Ajax on Rails makes a compelling
framework to develop webs applications with. This tutorial walks
through two Ajax
examples and, then brings in Ruby on Rails demonstrating
how Ruby
and Ajax go together so well.
Build
Ajax into your Web apps with Rails This
tutorial gives you some very useful examples of using Ajax
with
Ruby on Rails (ROR). You will learn how to use the
Asynchronous
JavaScript + XML (AJAX) functionality of ROR
to give your web application's user a Web 2.0 interface experience. It
goes over the steps of developing a Rails application and then
demonstrates how to use the Ajax features of JavaScript code
that reads and writes data from the server.
Developing
rich Internet applications with Rails, OpenLaszlo, and Eclipse This
tutorial teaches you how to build rich Internet apps with
OpenLaszlo, Ruby on Rails, MySQL, and Eclipse using a common IDE
to not only develop your application but also to automate the
steps in developing a Rails or OpenLaszlo application. This will
further speed up and streamline the already fast development cycle of
Rails applications. Developing visually compelling, interactive Web
applications is not difficult at all using these technologies.

This audio and video training presentation, Stacks
on the Tracks, walks you through and teaches you
how to use Ruby On Rails to build
more efficient and maintainable web-based library
applications. Ruby on Rails (ROR) is an open source web
application framework written in
Ruby. ROR offer web developers an easy to use framework with
which applications are programmed using less code than other
frameworks, along with less configuration. This learning
session, by Chris Stearns of Auburn University, uses a
real-time application development
tutorial to teach how a library application can be
completed in hours instead of days; medium-sized applications in days
instead of weeks; and large applications in weeks instead of months
using RubyOnRails. This is hosted by SMARTech
