When dealing with Rich Internet Applications (RIA), development & technologies focus is moving from server to client side. The support for rich client applications reduces server loads and provides better response time and lower server development costs. In order to build rich client side applications correctly, getting familiar with JavaScript wide capabilities along with advanced CSS, HTML & jQuery features is essential. Building reusable, scalable and performance oriented JavaScript code requires a deep understanding of the language and as our applications grow more complex, this is no longer something we can live without.
In this course we will learn the tools and patterns to build scalable JavaScript apps that will serve visitors from many platforms. We will get to know the various Ajax libraries and focus on jQuery to bridge the browser compatibility gap.
