In this video on DVD-ROM, web designers and developers interested in standards-compliant Ajax techniques will learn to create Ajax-style behaviors that will work for all users, using Spry and jQuery. Spry and jQuery are JavaScript libraries that let designers and developers easily implement AJAX widgets, such as accordion panes, multi-tab interfaces, effects and sliding panels, as well as advanced data manipulation and form validation, without sacrificing backward compatibility for non-JavaScript enabled user agents. This video demonstrates techniques for using Spry that are not documented in the Adobe Help materials.

Good for beginners to JavaScript Frameworks,
This review is from: Mastering Web Content: Behavior with Ajax, DVD (DVD-ROM)
I would say this DVD is somewhat misnamed. First, you might think from use of the word "Mastering" that it's for advanced users. However, it is actually very much a beginner resource. And second, it's really about the use of JavaScript frameworks rather than Ajax specifically (at least if you define Ajax as the combination of JavaScript and XML). Only one of the 9 segments deals with using XML data.That being said, it is an excellent introduction to the use of JavaScript frameworks. The presenter is an Adobe product evangelist so he uses the Adobe Spry framework but he gives a number of examples of using the jQuery JavaScript library as well. Spry is, not surpisingly, more closely integrated with Dreamweaver and he shows a lot of those features. He does show though that there are user interface widgets available on the Adobe website using both jQuery and YUI (Yahoo User Interface components) that can be integrated somewhat with Dreamweaver although not to the level of...

Most people out in the workforce (me included) have tons of deadlines that are almost unreachable as it is, let alone giving us time to learn new things. With the economy today, us designers and developers need to learn as fast as we can to continue to stay employed.Even though reading books and online resources can provide tons of great information, its sometimes takes too learn what we need. Thats why I love these DVDs by NewRiders that cover really relevant and important web topics like AJAX and JavaScript. This DVD by Greg Rewis, hits the ground running with lots of great examples with AJAX and JavaScript libraries. Libraries such as Adobe Spry, jQuery and Prototype are covered in showing the reader how to quickly create useful JavaScript scripts to incorporate into existing websites. I really enjoyed the topics that are... Read more |
