Description
By Jarkko Laine, workshop teacher and author of the Apress book Beginning Ruby on Rails E-Commerce Modern web developers have learned to organize their server-side code into model, view, and controller. Your front-end development can also benefit from organization into content and behavior, which is much easier to accomplish than you might think. Dare I say that it makes front-end web programming as easy as Visual Basics object and event hooks? Jarkko Laine steps through the features of Dan Webbs Low Pro library to help you attach functionality to HTML elements and events. Youll see how Prototype.js can drive a full-featured application and give you organizational tools to keep your Javascript code maintainable.
