Microsoft Visual Studio 2012: Consuming and Transmitting Data with HTML5

Overview/Description
Working with Web applications often requires the accessing, transmission and security of data. From server to client and back again, secure data transfer is one of the many powerful features of the Web. When programming data transfers, application developers need to understand the several technologies, particularly JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML), and related technologies. This course introduces learners to the consumption of data using JSON, and XML, AJAX, and retrieving data with XMLHTTPRequest. It also considers the serialization and deserialization of data, sending and tracking data, submitting data using the FormSubmit method, parsing data, using XMLHTTPRequest to send data, and using URI/form encoding to ''sanitize'' data. This course is the seventh in a series in the SkillSoft learning path that covers the objectives for the Exam 70-480: Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3. Passing this exam will earn the learner the Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3 Specialist certification.
