Course Number: JAVA.037 Duration: 5 days (full-day sessions) OR Weekend/Evening sessions Training Overview: Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a browser-based technology for creating highly interactive Web applications by updating parts of a Web page with new data without reloading the whole page. Rich Internet Applications are transforming the Web and Ajax is the leading technology in this realm. This course covers the most current server-side and client-side Ajax frameworks as well as topics such as Javascript Object Notation (JSON), JavaServer Faces (JSF), and Direct Web Remoting (DWR). This course is hands on with labs to reinforce all the important concepts. It will enable you to build working Ajax applications, and give you an understanding of the important concepts and technology in a very short time. Location and Pricing: Most of our courses are conducted online OR at our training facility and are customized to meet our students needs. We also provide customized onsite training at our clients' locations. Pricing for an online course depends on if its a weekend/evening course or a full day course.
