Getting Hands-On with JavaScript and Browser Technologies
Ajax is a starting point for web application development today. But how comfortable are you with foundational browser technologies including modern HTML markup, DOM scripting with JavaScript, external design through CSS as well as related topics such as progressive enhancement, unobtrusive JavaScript, accessibility, and others?
Today's server-side developer has to break the ice and venture into client-side technologies and learn some good practices. For example it is common to separate style from the HTML and while you don't have to become a CSS expert you do need to understand what makes good HTML markup so that visual design can be successfully externalized and delegated to a designer if necessary.
Come to this session to learn what's important in web development today including both debugging techniques as well as a discussion of important design ideas for the client side. Design ideas will be presented in the context of Spring JavaScript and you will learn how it can help you to meet those design goals effectively.
Topics covered: - Web development with Firebug, Web Developer and other Firefox add-ons. - Progressive enhancement techniques - Unobtrusive JavaScript - Applying the CSS Framework (bundled with Spring JavaScript) - Debugging JavaScript and Ajax applications - Testing browser applications
