Java EE Programming: Ajax with Spring 3.0, Part 1 of 4

Course description

The Spring 3.0 framework combined with Ajax gives you as a web developer a strong platform to develop web applications with. This course covers some of the ways that Ajax and Spring 3.0 can be used to create web applications. The course starts with an Ajax overview and then gets in XHR mechanics. The course will then cover JavaScript mechanics then Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) with in Spring. You will then learn about the HTML Document Object Model (DOM) and how to work with nodes. Then the course covers XML DOM Mechanics on how to handle XML responses. You will then learn about applied JavaScript and its approach to XML HTTP request calls. You will then see an Ajax application built and end the course with JSON objects.

Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.

Prerequisites

This an intermediate- level Spring 3.0 training course, designed for developers who need to understand how and when to use Spring in Java and JEE applications. You should have practical basic Java development experience.
