Ajax Training Overview

Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) has emerged as a powerful platform for building web applications with extensive client-side interactivity. Unlike older approaches, which require reloading of the entire page with every postback, Ajax uses the JavaScript DOM, the XMLHttpRequest object, XML, and CSS to download and display just the content that needs to change.

Location and Pricing

Most Accelebrate courses are taught on-site at our clients' locations worldwide for groups of 3 or more attendees and are customized to their specific needs. Please visit our client list to see organizations for whom we have recently delivered training. These courses can also be delivered as live, private online classes for groups that are geographically dispersed or wish to save on the instructor’s or students’ travel expenses. To receive a customized proposal and price quote private training at your site or online, please contact us.

In addition, some courses are available as live, online classes for individuals.  To see a schedule of online courses, please visit http://www.accelebrate.com/online_training/xml_html_js.htm.

Alternative Course: Ajax for Java Developers

If you will be developing Ajax applications, we encourage you to consider Ajax for Java Developers as an alternative to this course.

Alternative Course: Ajax for Managers

If you are interested in learning the fundamentals of Ajax in a one-day seminar, we encourage you to consider Accelebrate's Ajax for Managers course.

Ajax Training Materials
