Provides a Firm Foundation For Using Ajax
The WordPress and Ajax e-book (with its 200 plus pages and 15 chapters) will provide you a firm foundation on using Ajax with WordPress.
While geared towards existing plugin/theme authors (beginning or advanced), this book will also assist those new to WordPress who have been thinking of making the programming plunge.
The book starts off with:
- Ajax best practices.
- How to add scripts properly.
- How to construct your JavaScript code.
- How to set up a class structure for your theme or plugin.
The book also walks you step-by-step in sending your first Ajax request.
Three “Real World” Examples of Using Ajax with WordPress
The examples take up over 50% of the book’s content. By the time you are finished with the book, you should have a firm grasp on using Ajax in real situations.
- Example 1 covers taking a common plugin and converting it to using Ajax.
- Example 2 covers how to construct a WordPress widget that has Ajax capabilities.
- Example 3 covers how to set up a PayPal Buy Now option with coupon capabilities (something you won’t find anywhere else!).
Tons of Code Samples
The book is chocked full of code samples, which you can copy and paste at will.
In addition, all code samples are color-coded for easy readability.
Takes Full Advantage of the PDF Format
A comprehensive Table of Contents is included.
Bookmarks are also available for quickly getting to your favorite section.
The book is also uniquely laid out to facilitate double-sided printing. Save some trees, already!
Friendly Reading
The book is full of the author’s unique (and sometimes humorous) writing style. This isn’t going to be another one of those “boring” programming books.
The book is also designed to be read cover-to-cover, with each chapter building on the previous one.
