Course 432:
Rich Internet Applications with HTML5, Ajax, and JavaScript

(3 days)

 

Course Description

A Rich Internet Application (RIA) is one which is connected, interactive, and responsive. An RIA is connected via the Internet to other people or other systems, provides effective communication through short, quick response times, and is therefore pleasant, useful, and useable. This course will show you how to take advantage of the current technology to develop RIAs.

This course provides an end‐to‐end look at building Rich Internet Applications that employ HTML5, Ajax, jQuery, etc., on the front-end. You’ll see how different server‐side and client‐side technologies can be integrated to create a robust application that provides flexible data display options to end users.

Topics covered include serving up HTML5 and JSON content using DOM manipulation and event handling, HTML5 integration, the role of JavaScript frameworks (Dojo, Dijit, jQuery), applying patterns to structure JavaScript code and making it more maintainable, as well as several HTML5 technologies including location services, local storage, canvas, video, and more.
