Berkeley, CA - January 2008 - Apress, Inc. publishes Practical DWR 2
Projects, the first book to offer developers a practical guide to DWR
2, written by Frank Zammetti, with a foreword from Joe Walker, creator
of DWR.
The Ajax craze is sweeping the world, and there is no shortage of
libraries from which to choose to make it all easier to develop. One
of those libraries has risen near the top in the Java space, and that
library is DWR. DWR, or Direct Web Remoting, allows you to treat your
Java classes running on the server as if they were local objects
running in the browser, bringing the full power of your server-side
business logic to the client without the usual problems that entails.
Frank Zammetti, experienced web architect specialist and author of
previous Apress books, Practical JavaScript, DOM Scripting and Ajax
Projects and Practical Ajax Projects with Java Technology, explores
DWR and all it offers in his new book Practical DWR Projects.
Six full, working applications that use DWR teach by example as
readers tear the applications apart, see what makes them tick, and
even extend them at their own pace. The result is getting a great feel
for what DWR offers and how Ajax can bring the world of Web 2.0 to
your doorstep - whilst having a good time doing it.
Web application developers, senior projects leads, and application
architects will learn how to:
" Call a server-side object in a snap and make it look like any local
JavaScript call to boot.
" Provide a strong security mechanism for securing your server-side
code.
" Integrate with many of the most popular frameworks out there
including Hibernate, ExtJS, Freemarker, dhtmlx and DataVision.
" Provide not only Ajax but Comet capabilities (sometimes called
reverse Ajax).
" Dig into Ajax using DWR in a practical and hacking kind of way
starting with a webmail client and Wiki projects.
" Build a simple file manager application and an online project time
tracking system.
" Complete a DWR-based game project.
Joe Walker, creator of DWR and writer of the foreword to Practical DWR
Projects, speaks of the need to have drive to get involved with an
open source project like DWR: "I'm particularly pleased to see Frank
step forward to write the first DWR book. Thanks for having the drive
to get involved, Frank." Joe Walker - Creator of DWR
