Mastering Ajax, Part 2: Make asynchronous requests with JavaScript and Ajax
Most Web applications use a request/response model that gets an entire HTML page from the server. The result is a back-and-forth that usually involves clicking a button, waiting for the server, clicking another button, and then waiting some more. With Ajax and the XMLHttpRequest object, you can use a request/response model that never leaves users waiting for a server to respond. In this article, Brett McLaughlin shows you how to create XMLHttpRequest instances in a cross-browser way, construct and send requests, and respond to the server. 		Articles 17 Jan 2006  
 
Mastering Ajax, Part 1: Introduction to Ajax
Ajax, which consists of HTML, JavaScript, DHTML, and DOM, is an outstanding approach that helps you transform clunky Web interfaces into interactive Ajax applications. The author, an Ajax expert, demonstrates how these technologies work together -- from an overview to a detailed look -- to make extremely efficient Web development an easy reality. He also unveils the central concepts of Ajax, including the XMLHttpRequest object. 		Articles 06 Dec 2005  
 
Mastering Ajax, Part 4: Exploiting DOM for Web response
The great divide between programmers (who work with back-end applications) and Web programmers (who spend their time writing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) is long standing. However, the Document Object Model (DOM) bridges the chasm and makes working with both XML on the back end and HTML on the front end possible and an effective tool. In this article, Brett McLaughlin introduces the Document Object Model, explains its use in Web pages, and starts to explore its usage from JavaScript. 		Articles 14 Mar 2006  
 
Mastering Ajax, Part 8: Using XML in requests and responses
In the last article of the series,you saw how your Ajax apps can format requests to a server in XML. You also saw why, in most cases, that isn't a good idea. This article focuses on something that often is a good idea: returning XML responses to a client. 		Articles 07 Nov 2006  
 
Mastering Ajax, Part 11: JSON on the server side
In the last article, you learned how to take an object in JavaScript and convert it into a JSON representation. That format is an easy one to use for sending (and receiving) data that maps to objects, or even arrays of objects. In this final article of the series, you'll learn how to handle data sent to a server in the JSON format and how to reply to scripts using the same format. 		Articles 14 Aug 2007  
 
Mastering Ajax, Part 10: Using JSON for data transfer
Plain text and XML are both data formats that you can use for sending and receiving information in your asynchronous applications. This installment of "Mastering Ajax" looks at another useful data format, JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), and how it makes moving data and objects around in your applications easier.

Mastering Ajax, Part 9: Using the Google Ajax Search API
Making asynchronous requests isn't just about talking to your own server-side programs. You can also communicate with public APIs like those from Google or Amazon, and add more functionality to your Web applications than just what your own scripts and server-side programs provide. In this article, Brett McLaughlin teaches you how to make and receive requests and responses from public APIs like those supplied by Google. 		Articles 23 Jan 2007

Mastering Ajax, Part 7: Using XML in requests and responses
Brett McLaughlin demonstrates how you can use XML as the data format for sending asynchronous requests. 		Articles 10 Oct 2006  
 
Mastering Ajax, Part 6: Build DOM-based Web applications
Continue to explore how DOM programming fits into interactive Ajax applications as Brett McLaughlin completes his trilogy of articles on DOM programming with a DOM application in practice. 		Articles 12 Sep 2006  
 
Mastering Ajax, Part 5: Manipulate the DOM
Last month Brett introduced the Document Object Model, whose elements work behind the scenes to define your Web pages. This month he dives even deeper into the DOM. Learn how to create, remove, and change the parts of a DOM tree, and take the next step toward updating your Web pages on the fly! 		Articles 11 Apr 2006  
 
Mastering Ajax, Part 3: Advanced requests and responses in Ajax
For many Web developers, making simple requests and receiving simple responses is all they'll ever need, but for developers who want to master Ajax, a complete understanding of HTTP status codes, ready states, and the XMLHttpRequest object is required. In this article, Brett McLaughlin will show you the different status codes and demonstrate how browsers handle each and he will showcase the lesser-used HTTP requests that you can make with Ajax.

Mastering Grails: Many-to-many relationships with a dollop of Ajax
Many-to-many (m:m) relationships can be tricky to deal with in a Web application. In this installment of Mastering Grails, Scott Davis shows you how to implement m:m relationships in Grails successfully. See how they're handled by the Grails Object Relational Mapping (GORM) API and the back-end database. Also find out how a bit of Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript + XML) can streamline the user interface. 		Articles 15 Apr 2008  
 
Mastering Grails: Asynchronous Grails with JSON and Ajax
JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) and Asynchronous JavaScript + XML (Ajax) are staples of Web 2.0 development. In this installment of the Mastering Grails series, author Scott Davis demonstrates the native JSON and Ajax capabilities baked into the Web framework. 		Articles 18 Nov 2008
