Pro JavaScript RIA Techniques
Turn your JavaScript knowledge into beautiful, dynamic, and performance-tuned rich Internet applications with Pro JavaScript RIA Techniques: Best Practices, Performance, and Presentation.
Part 1 : Best Practices
In the first part of the book, I present some tried-and-tested guidelines for building Rich Internet applications (RIAs). Applying these guidelines will allow you to build the foundations of a web site structure that’s scalable from a single page with a few lines of code up to many thousands of pages and thousands of lines of code. I show you how to follow best practices in a sensible, pragmatic way that won’t make the tasks of application maintenance and bug fixing daunting—during construction or in the future.
Part 2 : Performance
The second part of the book focuses on performance, efficiency, and speed. Here, you will discover techniques for ensuring that end users get a more responsive user interface, while reducing the bandwidth burden on your hosting provider.

Part 3 : Presentation
In the third and final part of the book, I will take you into the realm of the user interface, introducing you to techniques and third-party reusable components that will help you to build a better-looking and better-behaving RIA. And hopefully you will be inspired to develop your own reusable components and share them with the rest of the web development community!
