Description

“Shows how Prototype and Scriptaculous let you concentrate on whats important: implementing your ideas.”
 —Thomas Fuchs, Creator of Scriptaculous, from the Foreword

“Of all the books on my shelf, this is the one I go to the most.”
 —Philip Hallstrom, CardPlayer.com

“Simplifies Ajax development—a great reference.”
 —Mark Eagle, MATRIX Resources, Inc.

“Cant wait to implement ideas from this book!”
 —Jeff Cunningham, The Weather Channel Interactive

Common Ajax tasks should be easy, and with Prototype and Scriptaculous they are. Prototype and Scriptaculous are libraries of reusable JavaScript code that simplify Ajax development. Prototype provides helpful methods and objects that extend JavaScript in a safe, consistent way. Its clever Ajax request model simplifies cross-browser development. Scriptaculous, which is based on Prototype, offers handy pre-fabricated widgets for rich UI development.

Prototype and Scriptaculous in Action is a comprehensive, practical guide that walks you feature-by-feature through the two libraries. First, youll use Scriptaculous to make easy but powerful UI improvements. Then youll dig into Prototypes elegant and sparse syntax. See how a few characters of Prototype code can save a dozen lines of JavaScript. By applying these techniques, you can concentrate on the function and flow of your application instead of the coding details. This book is written for web developers with a working knowledge of JavaScript.

描述

“展示了Prototype和Scriptaculous如何讓你專注於最重要的事情:實現你的想法。” ——Thomas Fuchs,Scriptaculous的創始人,來自前言

“在我書架上的所有書中,這是我最常翻閱的一本。” ——Philip Hallstrom,CardPlayer.com

“簡化了Ajax開發-一本很好的參考書。” ——Mark Eagle,MATRIX Resources, Inc.

“迫不及待地想要實現這本書中的想法!” ——Jeff Cunningham,The Weather Channel Interactive

常見的Ajax任務應該是簡單的,而且使用Prototype和Scriptaculous可以實現這一點。Prototype和Scriptaculous是可重用的JavaScript代碼庫,可以簡化Ajax開發。Prototype提供了有用的方法和對象,以安全、一致的方式擴展JavaScript。它聰明的Ajax請求模型簡化了跨瀏覽器開發。基於Prototype的Scriptaculous提供了方便的預製小部件,用於豐富的UI開發。

《Prototype and Scriptaculous in Action》是一本全面而實用的指南,逐個功能地介紹了這兩個庫。首先,您將使用Scriptaculous進行簡單但強大的UI改進。然後,您將深入研究Prototype的優雅而簡潔的語法。看看幾個Prototype代碼字符如何節省十幾行JavaScript代碼。通過應用這些技術,您可以專注於應用程序的功能和流程,而不是編碼細節。本書適用於具有JavaScript工作知識的Web開發人員。
