Django JavaScript Integration: AJAX and jQuery by Jonathan Hayward

You want to create an AJAX application. Why would you use Django? Why would you use jQuery? Why would you use both together? Enter Django JavaScript Integration: AJAX and jQuery – your comprehensive answer to all these questions and the only extensive, practical, and hands-on guide to developing any AJAX application with Django and jQuery. Gone are the days when you used to lament over the lack of official documentation on AJAX with Django. This book will teach you exactly why Django is called "The web framework for perfectionists with deadlines", how jQuery – the "write less do more" JavaScript library – is practically a virtual higher-level language, and why they both deserve to be integrated with AJAX. This hands-on-guide shows you how to put Django and jQuery together in the process of creating an AJAX application. In this book, they are brought together in a real-world scenario, with attention to usability, to build and develop an AJAX application.
