So I have been wanting to learn more JavaScript and how to do Ajax for a long time now. Last semester I finally found some time to play around with enough JavaScript to start to understand it. This was the first time I have ever worked with DOM. While on winter break I had some free time one night which I decided to spend doing an Ajax tutorial. This was a simple tutorial which used a mouse over to request the time from the server.
Next I decided to add an Ajax feedback form to my website which turned out to be a little more challenging. The server time tutorial did not use any POST variables. I did not realize that with AJAX you had to send the variables. So after a few hours of reading online tutorials I was able to figure it all out.
I really am liking Ajax so far so I wanted to get a book to teach me a bit more. I ordered Building Responsive Web Applications which looks like it will teach me a lot. I have not started it yet since another semester has just begun.
While reading various articles online I came across SVG and XForms. Both look really cool and I can't wait to get some free time to play around with them!
