Apologies for the lack of updates over the past couple of months, things have been extremely hectic as I’ve been writing a book in my spare time. I’m really pleased to announce that this book has now been completed and should be on book shelves around the world within the next couple of days.

The topic is building web applications, or RIAs (Rich Internet Applications) using JavaScript. The book is split into three parts:

1. Best Practices: I reveal how to build upon a solid, maintainable foundation of HTML, CSS and JavaScript to avoid the need for unnecessary complication or development time
2. Performance: I show you to avoid the pitfalls of building a poorly responsive web application and teach the secrets for keeping it snappy.
3. Presentation: Web applications that work well are tailored towards the needs of end users. In this section, I explain how to use JavaScript to add a superior user experience to your RIAs.

And the title of the book….?

Pro JavaScript RIA Techniques: Best Practices, Performance, and Presentation.

I’ve created a section of my new site dedicated to the book, explaining what is covered in each chapter, and allowing you to download the source code for the examples within. To discover this and how to buy the book, visit my new site: http://www.denodell.com/
