Learning in Communities: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Human Centered Information Technology

Most learning takes place in communities. People continually learn through their participation with others in everyday activities. Such learning is important in contemporary society because formal education cannot prepare people for a world that changes rapidly and continually. We need to live in learning communities.

This volume gathers together all of the scholarly materials directly emanating from a workshop held in August 2005, when a multidisciplinary group of scholars met at Penn State�s College of Information Sciences and Technology to discuss �learning in communities�. Initially, a sectioned report on the workshop was published as a special section in the Journal of Community Informatics in 2006. Subsequently, a special issue of 5 full papers was published in the Journal of Computer-Supported Cooperative Work, and a special section of 2 full papers was published in the International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning.

This collection of papers is not the definitive summary of learning in communities. It is assuredly more prolegomena than coda. Learning is increasing recognized as a critical facet of lifetime activity, one that must become better integrated with all that people do. At the same time, community structures are increasingly recognized as a critical category of social organization � flexible and adaptable, capable of innovation and development, and yet just as strongly nurturing and supportive. The promise of learning in communities lies ahead of us. This set of essays hopes to propel us all along that path.

Pragmatic Programmers Pragmatic Ajax [Rapidshare]

Pragmatic Programmers Pragmatic Ajax

It's not just another book on Ajax. It's Pragmatic Ajax: a concise, complete look at a new way of envisioning and implementing browser-based applications. Ajax turns static web pages into interactive applications. Now you can deploy rich-client applications to clients without sacrificing the easy deployment of web applications. But to many folks, Ajax seems difficult. That's why we produced this book. As a Pragmatic guide, it strips away the mystery and shows you the easy way to make Ajax work for you. We cover the the basics of DHTML, JavaScript, and the infamous XmlHttpRequest call. You'll see how to add Ajax to existing programs, and design new applications to exploit the power of Web 2.0. Learn the three layers of Ajax framework, and when (and how) to use each. See how to create rich clients, use visual effects, add client-side validation, and handle forms. Write applications that degrade gracefully if clients don't support JavaScript. And see how to integrate your Ajaxified clients into Java, .NET, and Ruby on Rails server frameworks. With Pragmatic Ajax, you'll: * Understand the breadth of the Ajax/Web 2.0 landscape, and go-indepth on how Ajax works * Learn how JavaScript works with your server-side framework * See how to easily apply Ajax techniques to an existing application--and when not to * Know what's coming by looking at new features and frameworks currently in active development. Writing dynamic applications isn't that hard. Folks are awed by Google Maps, but it isn't rocket science (apart from the satellite pictures). As a special bonus, see how to implement your own Google Maps-like application using DHTML.

Google Web Toolkit: GWT Java Ajax Programming [Rapidshare]

Google Web Toolkit: GWT Java Ajax Programming

Quote:

This book is for Java developers who want to create Ajax interfaces using the Google Web Toolkit (GWT). It focuses on useful, practical tasks from the first chapter. The book is aimed at programmers who want to use GWT to create interfaces for their professional web applications. It concentrates on the serious side of Ajax: creating powerful, productive applications for browser platforms. GWT Ajax Programming shows you how to create reliable user interfaces that enhance the user experience.

GWT is an open source Java software development framework that makes writing AJAX applications like Google Maps and Gmail easy for developers who don't speak browser quirks as a second language. Writing dynamic web applications today is a tedious and error-prone process; you spend 90% of your time working around subtle incompatibilities between web browsers and platforms, and JavaScript's lack of modularity makes sharing, testing, and reusing AJAX components difficult and fragile. GWT lets you avoid many of these headaches while offering your users the same dynamic, standards-compliant experience. You write your front end in the Java programming language, and the GWT compiler converts your Java classes to browser-compliant JavaScript and HTML.

Plan your ECM installation, implement it, and customize it. Among the many topics covered are:

Set up an elegant GWT development environment in Eclipse
Create, test, debug and deploy GWT applications
Develop custom widgets - examples include a calendar and weather forecast widget
Internationalize your GWT applications
Create complex interfaces using grids, moveable elements, and more
Integrate GWT with Rico, Moo.fx and Script.aculo.us to create even more attractive UIs using JSNI

Each chapter covers a series of practical tasks, showing how to achieve a particular useful result - and then learn how it works so that you can apply your knowledge to your own unique situation. Readers will need experience writing non-trivial applications using Java. Experience with developing web interfaces is useful, but knowledge of JavaScript and DHTML is not required... GWT takes care of that!

Among the many topics covered are:
1 Getting Started
2 Creating a New GWT Project
3 Creating Ajax Services
4 Creating Interactive Forms
5 Responsive Complex Interfaces
6 JSNI and Browser Effects
7 Creating Custom GWT Widgets
8 Unit Tests and Debugging
9 Integrating with Other Frameworks
10 Deployment

Head First Ajax [ Rapidshare ]

Author: Rebecca Riordan
URL: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0596515782
Product Details
pages: 527 pages
Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc.
ISBN: 0596515782
Format: PDF
Size: 36.4 MB
Price: $44.99
Summary:
Ajax is no longer an experimental approach to website development, but the key to building browser-based applications that form the cornerstone of Web 2.0. Head First Ajax gives you an up-to-date perspective that lets you see exactly what you can do -- and has been done -- with Ajax. With it, you get a highly practical, in-depth, and mature view of what is now a mature development approach.

Using the unique and highly effective visual format that has turned Head First titles into runaway bestsellers, this book offers a big picture overview to introduce Ajax, and then explores the use of individual Ajax components -- including the JavaScript event model, DOM, XML, JSON, and more -- as it progresses. You'll find plenty of sample applications that illustrate the concepts, along with exercises, quizzes, and other interactive features to help you retain what you've learned.

Head First Ajax covers:[*]The JavaScript event model[*]Making Ajax requests with XMLHTTPREQUEST objects[*]The asynchronous application model[*]The Document Object Model (DOM)[*]Manipulating the DOM in JavaScript[*]Controlling the browser with the Browser Object Model[*]XHTML Forms[*]POST Requests[*]XML Syntax and the XML DOM tree[*]XML Requests & Responses[*]JSON -- an alternative to XML[*]Ajax architecture & patterns[*]The Prototype Library
The book also discusses the server-side implications of building Ajax applications, and uses a "black box" approach to server-side components.

Head First Ajax is the ideal guide for experienced web developers comfortable with scripting -- particularly those who have completed the exercises in Head First JavaScript -- and for experienced programmers in Java, PHP, and C# who want to learn client-side programming.

Foundations of Atlas: Rapid Ajax Development with ASP.NET 2.0 [Rapidshare]

Foundations of Atlas: Rapid Ajax Development with ASP.NET 2.0

Quote:

This book introduces a fast-track path to understanding Atlas, and how this technology can increase the power and functionality of your code while conserving time and effort. The book begins with a bare-bones introduction that explains how Atlas relates to Ajax.

Microsoft Atlas is a web-client framework that makes building Ajax-style applications easier. It provides a prewritten framework that gives you a structured environment in which to work. Atlas also provides you with an object model and standardized debugging to make development faster and simpler.

Ajax is a new way of combining a number of Web technologies including JavaScript, dynamic HTML, and a feature known as XmlHttp (which reduces the need for client browsers to constantly reconnect to the server every time new information is downloaded). But at the moment, people developing with Ajax have to write their code from the ground up, which is complex and time consuming.

The book guides you through a series of practical examples that demonstrate the Atlas framework and available controls. After reading this book, you'll be able to compile a seamless Atlas-based application of your own!

Adobe AIR with AJAX [ Rapidshare ]

AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) is Adobe�s open-source technology that lets Web developers and programmers create Rich Internet Applications that run outside of any Web browser. This Visual QuickPro Guide teaches everything you need to know to begin creating applications that combine the rich experience of a traditional desktop application with the power and reach of the Internet. The book uses a visual, step-by-step approach and covers all the fundamental AIR concepts, without the fluff, confusing segues, and technical jargon that bog down so many other computer books. Author Larry Ullman has a well-earned reputation for writing books that are accessible, easy-to-follow, and, above all, useful. This book focuses solely on developing AIR applications using HTML and JavaScript, although formal knowledge of JavaScript is not required.

Prototype and Scriptaculous in Action

Prototype and Scriptaculous in Action

Quote:

John Guthrie at JavaLobby
Pretty darned definitive Plenty of useful examples, including counter-examples Shows how to migrate existing code, not just start from scratch Scriptaculous labs are excellent, and are available for download Okay, all the labs are excellent JavaScript haters beware! Prototype, Scriptaculous, and yes, this excellent book about these two JavaScript libraries, could change your mind. After reading Prototype and Scriptaculous In Action, you are in danger of saying to yourself, "Hey, I'd like to try some of this stuff out," and, before you even realize it, you're writing JavaScript, getting stuff done, and maybe even enjoying it.

This book should rightly be considered the bible of Prototype and Scriptaculous. Just download and run the source code for the book (available online for free), for a real taste of what this book offers.

N. J. Ferrier at Amazon UK
A good solid intro. ... There is fantastically useful stuff about JavaScript itself as well as Prototype; for example the section of function contexts and closures is one of the best I have read on the subject.

Ajax on Java [ Rapidshare ]

Ajax on Java

Quote:

This practical guide shows you how to make your Java web applications more responsive and dynamic by incorporating new Ajaxian features, including suggestion lists, drag-and-drop, and more. Java developers can choose between many different ways of incorporating Ajax, from building JavaScript into your applications "by hand" to using the new Google Web Toolkit (GWT).

Ajax on Java starts with an introduction to Ajax, showing you how to write some basic applications that use client-side JavaScript to request information from a Java servlet and display it without doing a full page reload. It also presents several strategies for communicating between the client and the server, including sending raw data, and using XML or JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) for sending more complex collections of data.

The book then branches out into different approaches for incorporating Ajax, which include:

* The Prototype and script.aculo.us Javascript libraries, the Dojo and Rico libraries, and DWR
* Integrating Ajax into Java ServerPages (JSP) applications
* Using Ajax with Struts
* Integrating Ajax into Java ServerFaces (JSF) applications
* Using Google's GWT, which offers a pure Java approach to developing web applications: your client-side components are written in Java, and compiled into HTML and JavaScript

Ajax gives web developers the ability to build applications that are more interactive, more dynamic, more exciting and enjoyable for your users. If you're a Java developer and haven't tried Ajax, but would like to get started, this book is essential. Your users will be grateful.

Web Development Solutions: Ajax, APIs, Libraries, and Hosted Services Made Easy

Web Development Solutions: Ajax, APIs, Libraries, and Hosted Services Made Easy

Quote:

As a web user, you'll no doubt have noticed some of the breathtaking applications available in today's modern web, such as Google Maps and Flickrdesktop applications than the old style web sites you are used to. You've probably also wished that you could create such things, and then thought "nahhh, I'd need to know a lot of complicated code to be able to even start creating sites like these." Well, think again. There is a lot of complicated code involved in cutting edge "Ajax style" web applications, but a lot of the hard work is already done for you, and available on the Web. JavaScript libraries exist to provide most of that Ajax/DOM Scripting functionality out of the box. Application programming interfaces (APIs) exist to allow you to transplant complicated applications such as Google Maps and Flickr right into your own web sites. And hosting services such as Flickr and YouTube provide all you need to store and retrieve your media (be it images, video, or whatever) at your leisure, without having to worry about bandwidth issues and file naming nightmares. All you need to know is enough to successfully wire together all this functionality successfully and responsibly, and this book shows you how. It starts from the very beginning of your journey, showing you what's available, what you need, and how to set up an effective development environment. After a solid base has been built, it shows you how to build up each aspect of your site, including storing, retrieving, and displaying content, adding images and video to your site, building effective site navigation and laying it all out beautifully using CSS, promoting your content so you will attract visitors to your site, and adding special effects to enhance usability and design asthetics...all with ready-made functionality available on the Web! Life as a web developer has never been easier.
