Prototype.js Fundamentals

Did you do copy and paste in your Javascript programming first few years? It's time for you to master Javascript programming! Javascript is a dynamic language that has many unique features that most developers don't know about. Javascript is essential if you wish to create modern web applications using the power of modern browsers. Javascript is made easy by the Prototype.js library. This library extends native objects with additional functionality. It makes it easy to organize code and even extend existing objects. Rails developers should learn how to use the Javascript libraries included with Rails. It's possible that you will find yourself using Prototype rather than the Rails helpers to protect you. You can use Prototype to integrate with another server-side framework. Learn the client-side basics with Ajax to make Prototype work with other frameworks.
