Ajax is taking us into the next generation of web applications. Ajax has broken the client-server barrier by decoupling the client from the server, but an Ajax application still needs a server to extract content from. The most effective use of Ajax and the server requires an understanding of REST, an architectural style used to define Web services.
Ajax Patterns and Best Practices explores dynamic web applications that combine Ajax and REST as a single solution. A major advantage of REST is that, like Ajax, it can be used with today's existing technologies.
This is an...

The last thing I want to do is detract from great writing, and more importantly, an extremely...

Good for you It's a great pleasure for me to join you on this jo- ney, however briefly, via this foreword. There is a good possibility that you've grown as skeptical as I have of the conventional wisdom that treats the "back end" as an afterthought in the...
