Torrent description

Welcome to the first QGTP, a "QuietGeek Training Package" - it's basically a small collection of ebooks and other material, usually centered around one publishing house, that is put together for a logical sequence of independent study. I find this kind of ebook torrent much more useful than most because it is a coherent series that lets you progressively master a subject from beginner level to professional.

The files in this torrent were collected from various sources: old torrents, other current torrents, file hosts, and web sites. I make sure to examine and document every file because I use the package myself, auto-didact that I am.


THE INTERACTIVE WEB from WROX

This QGTP contains a few ebooks from Wrox Press (wrox.com), the computer programming books division of Wiley Publishing, on Web 2.0 development, i.e. the latest techniques using Javascript and AJAX to make interactive, desktop application-like web pages. The core of the collection is a "Wrox Box" of 4 books, but other closely related Wrox books were added for an expanded study line.

For each book the source code examples (and other material discussed), as provided by the publisher, are included (when available).

The order presented below is only a suggestion based on the various authors' descriptions of each book's subject matter and target audience. Note also that the presentation level is quite technical throughout, even for beginners: these books are written by professional programmers for programmers.


Level: beginner
------------------------------

Wrox - Beginning Javascript 3rd Ed (2007).pdf (Front Cover)
and example code
This book aims to teach you all you need to know to start experimenting with JavaScript: what it is, how it works, and what you can do with it. In order to get the most out of this book, you'll need to have an understanding of HTML and how to create a static web page. You don't need to have any programming experience.

Wrox - Beginning AJAX (2007).pdf
and example code
Using proven examples and explaining concepts step by step, this book shows you how building Ajax-enabled sites and applications allows more interactive user interfaces than ever before. You’ll learn about the differences in capabilities between client-side and server-side development techniques, as well as how Ajax crosses this boundary. You’ll also discover how Ajax techniques can be summed up by patterns (which are development models that you’ll use repeatedly). With a mastery of these techniques, you’ll be able to breathe new life into your Web sites.
