http://www.profoundlogic.tv. Today’s video is a response to a question from one of our viewers, Wil Rikken, from McNess BV in the Netherlands. In my video on Sending AJAX Requests to the IBM i, I suggested the use of AJAX libraries, instead of coding everything from scratch. I also demonstrated a snippet of code that uses the ajax() function that we package with all our tools for the IBM i. Wil wanted more details on this particular function. So, I have asked David Russo, the main developer and architect of our JavaScript AJAX library, to provide all the particulars on how to use the ajax() function with POST, asynchronous mode, etc. I am also making the AJAX Library and the corresponding documentation available as a free download in our Resources Section on the site. You can access it at http://www.profoundlogic.tv/resources Brought to you by Profound Logic TV, Educational Videos for the IBM i (iSeries / System i / AS400) Professional.

Profound Logic TV Educational Videos for the IBM i (iSeries / System i / AS400) Professional www.profoundlogic.tv As I talk to System i / RPG developers who are modernizing their systems, I get questions about what AJAX is all about and how it can be used when developing Web applications on the IBM i platform. So, in this video, I introduce you to AJAX (or Asynchronous JavaScript and XML). As it turns out, the acronym is deceptive, and doesn’t really tell you much about how AJAX is used and what it really is.
