Ajax is a building block of the modern web. Ajax helps you communicate between your app and the server, and incorporate new content without reloading webpages—resulting in more interactive and high-performance apps. This course introduces both modern and legacy approaches for requesting and handling data and modifying webpage content with Ajax and vanilla javascript. JS expert Sasha Vodnik shows how to work with the Fetch APIs, so you can see how Ajax is implemented across a codebase. Along the way, learn how to optimize Ajax requests and responses within the browser, modify webpage content through the DOM, work with Axios library, and troubleshoot Ajax requests as they arise.
