Course Description

Rich Internet applications (RIAs) are web applications that approximate the look, feel, and usability of desktop applications. The techniques to implement them are based on a group of technologies collectively known as Ajax (Asynchronous Java Scrip and XML), which uses client-side scripting to make web applications more responsive. The resultant applications were richer than the relatively static pure-HTML-based Web applications that preceded them. These applications have become known as Ajax applications, rich internet applications, or Web 2.0 applications. They separate client-side user interaction and server communication, and run them in parallel reducing the delays of server side processing normally experienced by the user. This course will examine techniques to develop Ajax applications. It will look at the underlying techniques; explore client- side tools, and server-side tools.
