Intro

Your



brain ОП Ajax. Here you are trying to learn something, and your brain



is doing you a favor by making sure the learning doesn't stick. Your



brain's thinking,"Better leave room for more important things, like



which wild animals to avoid and whether naked snowboarding is a bad



idea." So how do you trick your brain into thinking that your life



depends on knowing how to program asynchronously?

Sick



of creating web sites that reload every time a user moves the mouse?



Tired of servers that wait around to respond to users’ requests for



movie tickets? It sounds like you need a little (or maybe a lot of) Ajax



in your life. Asynchronous programming lets you turn your own web sites



into smooth, slick, responsive applications that make your users feel



like they’re back on the information superhighway, not stuck on a



dial-up backroad.

But who wants to take on next-generation web



programming with the last generation’s instruction book? You need a



learning experience that’s as compelling and cutting-edge as the sites



you want to design. That’s where we come in. With Head Rush Ajax, in no



time you’ll be writing JavaScript code that fires off asynchronous



requests to web servers...and having fun doing it. By the time you’ve



taken your dynamic HTML, XML, JSON, and DOM skills up a few notches,



you'll have solved tons of puzzles, figured out how well snowboards sell



in Vail, and even watched a boxing match. Sound interesting? Then what



are you waiting for? Pick up Head Rush Ajax and learn Ajax and



asynchronous programming the right way—the way that sticks.

If



you’ve ever read a Head First book, you know what to expect: a visually



rich format designed for the way your brain works. Head Rush ramps up



the intensity with an even faster look and feel. Have your first working



app before you finish Chapter 1, meet up with the nefarious PROJECT:



CHAOS stealth team, and even settle the question of the Top 5 Blues CDs



of all time. Leave boring, clunky web sites behind with 8-tracks and hot



pants—and get going with next-generation web programming.

Brett



McLaughlin is a guitar player who is still struggling with the



realization that you can’t pay the bills if you’re into acoustic



fingerstyle blues andjazz. He’s just recently discovered, to his



delight, that writing books that help people become better programmers



does pay the bills.

In addition to his work on Head First and



Head Rush, Brett’s a bestselling author whose books include Java and



XML, Java 5.0: A Developer’s Notebook, and Home Theater Hacks.
