Ajax is the fast growing technology already powering the latest generation of richly interactive web-based applications such as Flickr and Google Maps.

This workshop will provide a hands-on explanation of how best to use Ajax, starting off with the basics of modern DOM scripting, before showing trainees the ins-and-outs of the XMLHttpRequest Object. Then, using a concept dubbed Hijax, Jeremy Keith will demonstrate live how to build Ajax applications that remain usable and accessible while degrading gracefully.

Jeremy Keith is a task force leader within the Web Standards Project and author of the highly acclaimed book, "DOM Scripting - Web Design with JavaScript and the Document Object Model" which will be given free to every workshop trainee.

Keith is a popular speaker on the conference circuit and a talented teacher. According to the designer and author, Dave Shea: "Jeremy Keith is blessed with the rare ability to explain advanced concepts in simple, easy-to-understand English. He backs up claims with common-sense examples, so that you know both what to do, and why to do it."
