Decorating Web Pages with Ajax using Spring JavaScript
Spring JavaScript is a JavaScript abstraction framework that allows you to progressively enhance a web page with behavior. The framework consists of a public JavaScript API along with an implementation that builds on the Dojo Toolkit. Spring.js aims to simplify the use of Dojo for common enterprise scenarios while retaining its full-power for advanced use cases. Come to this session to learn to use Spring.js and Dojo to create compelling user interfaces.
This session will walk through using Spring.js to add a number of rich web capabilities to your applications, including:
- Decorating standard HTML links and forms with Ajax events
- Linking in partial updates to a page
- Adding effects such as progress indicators, blinds, and popups
- Performing client-side validation
In addition, you'll see how Spring.js can help with:
- Gracefully degrading when JavaScript is not available
