AJAX with jQuery: The Beginning

[tpaladin]

i thought its stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML not XHTML.

[skreemy]

@tpaladin It does. The dude is wrong.

[programmingismylife]

very bad quality so couldn't understand anything :(

[Darienbeagle]

Good tutorial but very hard to read the screen.

[barnamah]

Thank you. this looks very simple.

CHANGE BACKGROUND COLOR!!

please change the background to white as it is unreadable for example the $ sing is totally different and simply it is annoying.

@barnamah

Follow the link in the READ MORE to get the readable version of the video. YouTube's compression algorithm destroyed the readability.

[EJWProduction]

Wow, it's amazing, I didn't know 5 and 7 were even numbers.

I get the point though! And thanks, it's a great tutorial.

Shawn, I just got into jQuery and your videos are helping me shape my content management system Butane. I will be using a good amount of AJAX in our admin menus and I have already started using the AJAX code from your videos. Good job. - Bruce

[MrNathanShow]

He use a IDE called zend google it

[harisri786]

Hey Shawn, the video was quite good. But it would be better if you don't use the colored background as I had to really struggle to see the code clearly.

[alfonzz597]

very helpful, thanks a lot!

[taipei2tampa]

Shawn, Which Editor/IDE did you use? Thanks.

[fhunkydelix]

mmm could you re-record the audio?.. it was kinda low

[apivovarov2]

What editor/IDE was used?

[iTenzo1]

Hey shawn y dnt you write a book? You definately exhibit the know-how... good vid!

[ohadr2003]

very good!

thanks

[MatteNoob]

Extremely helpful Shawn. Can't wait to learn how to utilize AJAX through jQuery.

[ilocstatusi]

didnt know u could add selectos to the load method

[CamiloSanchez1979]

Hey nice tutorial..

[GoodLegoInventions]

Nice tutorial.

What editor are you using?

[chronocream]

Excellent. Wasn't aware of the load method and its versatility. Hope to see more.

P.S. Even with my volume all the way up, I could still barely hear you.

[ShawnMcCool]

Thanks for the feedback. I'll be sure to increase the volume on the next recordings.

[monofono2006]

@ShawnMcCool And also can you record in high quality plz. Good tutorial keep it up.

[ShawnMcCool]

@monofono2006

I did record in high quality. If you follow the link in the video description you'll see how the videos look great until they get hit by youtube's encoding algorithm.

[monofono2006]

@ShawnMcCool ok cool, thank you.

[wargodz009]

works like a charm.. great tutorial keep up the good work

[codeCola196]

ajax stands for asynchronous javascript and XML not XHTML

[ShawnMcCool]

Yea, I noticed that after I played the video back for the first time. I decided not to rerecord the entire video as it's hard enough to find time to make these.

[damastermind19]

thx Shawn it worked, cheers!

[damastermind19]

well it didnt worked for me, I copied everything he did on the screen and it didnt work with showing the list on a webpage. But the button was there. no clue what went wrong but I did exsactly what he does on his tutorial.

[ShawnMcCool]

If you're using firefox you can download the "firebug" plugin. Load your page up, click the bug icon in the lower right, then go to the "console" sub section. Hit reload. You should see the ajax request pop up in the console. Click the plus sign to the left of the request and you'll be able to see the request and the response. That may help you. It'll also show any Javascript errors that you have.

[rodneykm]

Excellent tutorial. The only suggestion I'd throw your way is to change the coding screen from black to white. It's somewhat tough to read. Great job in any case.

[ShawnMcCool]

The vimeo version is much easier to read. The primary issue being that youtube -- for some reason -- compresses my videos terribly.

[rodneykm]

I've noticed the same thing. Vimeo does a much better job at this point that youtube does.

[codeCola196]

great tutorial - if you want original quality, dont use the default settings in camtasia, do custom settings and export as .avi

[ShawnMcCool]

I exported as a MOV, so next time I'll try it as an AVI. Thanks for the advice.
