Packt is pleased to announce Backbase 4 RIA Development, a new book that will help web developers to create enterprise-grade rich internet applications using the Backbase client framework. Written by renowned authors Ghica van Emde Boas and Sergey Ilinsky, this book contains a complete overview of all the UI libraries available within the Backbase framework. It will allow developers to create modular and extensible web applications and their own UI components using the powerful object-oriented Tag Definition Language (TDL).
Backbase is a very powerful and complex JavaScript library, with many user interface components to help make web development easier. It allows the development of Rich Internet Applications (RIA) that run within all major browsers, but its power and complexity mean that the choice of component can be overwhelming and might not always be straightforward.
Backbase 4 RIA Development is a practical book that teaches readers to use the Backbase Client Framework effectively. This book shows how to get the most from the library of UI components, and then extend the library with its own custom language. It also covers the architectural aspects of designing a web-application and showing sample applications using a model-view-controller approach.
With this practical book in hand, developers will learn the benefits of using an XML-based user interface definition along with the overview of all Backbase libraries with examples. It will also teach them to develop effective client-server (AJAX) communication in an MVC-based client-server architecture. In addition to this, it will help them understand what data binding is and also its usage in Backbase framework alongside performance and deployment tips.
With a complete overview and lot of detailed examples, this book is a ‘hands on’ guide for web developers who want to develop applications using the Backbase Client Framework and want to learn more about XML-based web application architectures. The book is out now and available from Packt. To read more about it, please visit: www.packtpub.com/backbase-4-4-x-rich-internet-applications-ria-development/book
