Event #1877: Ajax and PHP; Geoff Peters

Date: 2005-11-10 Country: CAN Category: User Group Event URL: http://vancouver.php.net/node/172 Ajax (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) is a kind of web application architecture that, even in its simplest form, allows a web application to provide an enriched user experience. Some larger scale examples of Ajax are Google Maps and Microsoft Virtual Earth. This talk will illustrate a fairly simple Ajax application implemented using PHP, that was created by the speaker. The goal is not to understand all the details of the application, but rather to give a general idea of some important Ajax concepts and the benefits such as improved usability, speed, and overall user experience. About the Speaker: Geoff Peters is a graduate from Simon Fraser University in computing science and business. He has experience creating web applications and web sites, both for business and pleasure, many of them using PHP.
