Introducing JavaScript
Apress eBooks · 2006
SummaryThis chapter focused solely on the introductory knowledge necessary to implement Ajax. It is purely introductory, however. You will find that a good solid foundation of JavaScript coding skills will go a long way in your web development projects. Fortunately, JavaScript has evolved in much the same way as Microsoft programming products. There’s a consistent effort to push for a proper object-oriented platform, and it is beginning to show. With modern browsers taking advantage of JavaScript as the client-side code of choice, you can rest assured that the language will be around for a while.In the next chapter, you’ll put your JavaScript skills to task as we dive into the heart of Ajax and take our first look at the XmlHttpRequest object.
