Tuesday, October 17th, 2006

I’ve written a new PHP book review that can be found at killersites.com.

I’ve been out of the picture for a little while, but I’m about to get back into the swing of things and will be working on completing a few new PHP videos within the next week.

That said, I haven’t been sitting on my butt for the last few weeks:

I’ve managed to write a couple of PHP tutorials for Web Designer Magazine – the first article (on creating a contact form and simple survey with PHP) is coming out at the end of October.

The next article due out in November, teaches OOP in PHP – that’s Object Oriented Programming for you new PHP nerds out there.

So what is this Ajax thing I keep hearing about?

Ajax is actually an acronym which stands for Asynchronous Javascript and Xml. The term Ajax is used to indicate the main technologies used to build Ajax-enabled web sites. From a user’s point of view an Ajax user interface looks and feels less like a web page and more like an actual application.

The most obvious feature of this is usually that a user can do things that cause what they see in their web browser to change, without the whole page having to be reloaded (for example add an item to a shopping cart).
