AJAX introduction

This course provides new web developers with an introduction in AJAX technology. The course explains what the technology is, how you can use it in your own applications and how a JavaScript toolkit (e.g. Dojo) can ease the effort in implementing AJAX applications.

In this course students will learn:

  • often-used frameworks (Dojo, Prototype, JSON)
  • the use of AJAX via web application frameworks (e.g. JSF)
