Ajax, initially an acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, is a way of developing interactive web applications. The idea is to make the web applications feel more like their desktop counterparts. This is meant to increase the web page's interactivity, speed, and usability.
To achieve this, Ajax relies on technologies such as JavaScript , XML , JSON, XSLT , CSS , XHTML and others. Marakana offers training on most of these technologies including the introductory Ajax class as well as the Advanced Ajax training.
Ajax Training Course
Ajax - Asynchronous JavaScript and XML is a synergy of multiple technologies and communication with the server without a page refresh, enabling a rich and responsive web-based client, a 2.0 web application.
Marakana Ajax Training course covers Ajax related technologies including JavaScript, DOM, CSS, XML etc., focusing on Object Oriented JavaScript and the main Ajax object: XMLHttpRequest.
Ajax Advanced Training Course
Marakana Advanced Ajax Training Course expands on basic Ajax principles of distributing the application between the client and the server by using the nested MVC design pattern.
In Marakana Advanced Ajax Training course you will learn about security and performance of the Ajax platform. Additionally, you will learn how to integrate Ajax with JSP, PHP, ASP, and other server-side scripts. Advanced Ajax topics covered include combining XSLT and XML documents and building stand-alone Ajax applications.
Google Web Toolkit Training Course
The Google Web Toolkit is a free and open-source toolkit for building Ajax applications using Java. It is the single-most important new Ajax toolkit introduced in the last several years, but, it uses a drastically different approach than the other toolkits such as jQuery, Prototype, Scriptaculous, or Dojo. As a result, it is difficult for traditional Ajax developers to understand how to use GWT effectively. Furthermore, GWT 1.7 introduced many changes and new features, so even programmers who used previous GWT releases need a fast-moving primer to get them up to speed with GWT 1.7. This course provides a practical, hands-on introduction to building Ajax-enabled applications with GWT 1.7. In each section, it gives details on the most important topics, surveys more advanced or lesser-used topics, stresses best practices, and gives plenty of working examples.
This course is developed and taught by Marty Hall, an experienced developer, award-winning instructor, popular conference speaker (5 times at JavaOne), and author of several bestselling Java books.
JavaScript AJAX and Frameworks Training Course
The JavaScript, AJAX, and Frameworks course covers the programming with the JavaScript language, building web pages that interact with server-side resources, and accelerating development with popular application frameworks. Participants will learn how to use JavaScript and related debugging tools within a browser context, and how to use the web page as a dynamic user interface. Students will then learn how to interact with web services to perform business operations and communicate results to a user, and how to leverage existing JavaScript frameworks to easily add advanced capabilities to their apps, while keeping them cross-platform and cross-browser compatible.
