This is a free eBook written by the
authors of
AJAX & PHP: Building Responsive Web Applications.
Although it wasn't apparent from the case studies in the
AJAX PHP book so far, AJAX can draw
as well, and in this mini-book and the next one we'll see how. Our
goal for this eBook is to build an online whiteboard application.
But what's a whiteboard?
I Googled for "whiteboard definition", and
www.ComputerUser.com
came up with this useful definition: "The equivalent of a
blackboard, but on a computer screen. A whiteboard allows one or
more users to draw on the screen while others on the network watch,
and can be used for instruction the same way a blackboard is used in
a classroom".
Implementing a whiteboard certainly isn't the best real world
scenario for using AJAX, because technologies such as Flash or Java
do a much better job at handling complex graphics. However,
implementing a whiteboard with AJAX allows us to study some of the
more sensitive areas of AJAX development, such as:
-
Drawing graphics
using specific algorithms and DIV elements.
-
Efficiently
package and compress data for client-server communication.
-
Synchronise the
same view among many clients.
-
Optimize the
database storage and SQL queries for increasing performance.
