Ajax Components.

hi authors,

"Ajax Components" is one the topic in your book.

didn't get what you mean by Components, is it like developer going to use any tool, framework or any other idea behind that, can you please share with us? furthermore the sub heading is "Building the Component" is pointing to create these components. sounds great, is like upgrade the level of developer.

Thanks in advance.

In the book we suggest a way to encapsulate and package reusable JavaScript code into 'components'. We also teach you how to wrap your Presentation-layer components into declarative tags so that they are easy to use for building complex user interfaces.

The use of declarative components is increasingly important because various new declarative technologies have been gaining in popularity like SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), XML Binding Language (XBL), and Macromedia XML (MXML). Proper encapsulation is important because it not only facilitates code re-use, but it also removes much of the need for addressing the individual quirks of multiple browsers - a big step toward rapidly developing applications on the web.

The chapter in the book that discusses Ajax components (Chapter 4) actually takes you through a beginning-to-end datababound declarative component so you can see how it might apply to you.

Great question!

Thanks author for sharing the picture.

Thanks again..
