Agritourism Marketing in Africa: Exploring Digital and Social Media Strategy
by Azizul Hassan Brighton Nyagadza Farai Chigora Abu BasharThis edited volume takes a multi-faceted approach, giving readers insights into the role of digital and social media marketing in the agritourism industry in Africa. Each chapter provides some theoretical, policy and practical implications for policy makers, educational practitioners, students and business communities on how agritourism’s digital and social media marketing strategies could be of benefit to them. It considers macro, micro and firm-level analyses relating to how agritourism digital and social media marketing could be harnessed to fuel tourism corporate brands development in under-researched African contexts. Its empirical case studies provide scientific evidence-based approaches that inform understanding on the contribution of these antecedents to the realisation of tourism corporate brands development. The book balances theory and experimentation, providing a thorough explication of the tools and techniques of agritourism digital and social media marketing, marketing, corporate communications and corporate reputation management relevant to the tourism and agricultural organisations in the African continent in particular, and the globe at large. As we reach the point of no return in our destruction of the planet, we need to look at global solutions to ‘reverse the traditional thinking’ (by applying frugal transformative futuristic solutions) of putting economy before green ecological balance and instead look to new ways of changing our appetite for wealth to fit within the ecological cycles which naturally exist.

Ajax in Action
by Eric Pascarello Dave Crane Darren JamesVal's Blog"A tremendously useful field guide specifically written for developers down in the trenches...waiting for the killer solution..."Web users are getting tired of the traditional web experience. They get frustrated losing their scroll position; they get annoyed waiting for refresh; they struggle to reorient themselves on every new page. And the list goes on. With asynchronous JavaScript and XML, known as "Ajax," you can give them a better experience. Once users have experienced an Ajax interface, they hate to go back. Ajax is new way of thinking that can result in a flowing and intuitive interaction with the user.Ajax in Action helps you implement that thinking--it explains how to distribute the application between the client and the server (hint: use a "nested MVC" design) while retaining the integrity of the system. You will learn how to ensure your app is flexible and maintainable, and how good, structured design can help avoid problems like browser incompatibilities. Along the way it helps you unlearn many old coding habits. Above all, it opens your mind to the many advantages gained by placing much of the processing in the browser. If you are a web developer who has prior experience with web technologies, this book is for you. Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book.
Ajax on Java
by Steve Oualline Steven Douglas OlsonDevelopers are charged with building applications that are dynamic, interactive and exciting, but they also must eat and sleep. Ajax allows a request from a web page to go to the server, get data and display it without bothering the user. The results are web applications that have the responsiveness of sophisticated applications. Consultant and practitioner Olson offers those new to Java the basics and moves up to advanced ideas at a brisk pace. He begins with setup, then advances to creating the application, building and deploying it, setting up XML documents and passing data with ISON, getting useful data (as in forms and suggestion fields), using libraries and toolkits, using DWR, building drag-and-drop functions, creating Ajax tags and libraries, using Struts, combining JavaServer Faces and Ajax, and getting past "handmade" with the Google Web Toolkit. Examples abound, as do illustrations. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)

Ajax on Java: The Essentials of XMLHttpRequest and XML Programming with Java
by Steven Douglas OlsonThis practical guide shows you how to make your Java web applications more responsive and dynamic by incorporating new Ajaxian features, including suggestion lists, drag-and-drop, and more. Java developers can choose between many different ways of incorporating Ajax, from building JavaScript into your applications "by hand" to using the new Google Web Toolkit (GWT). Ajax on Java starts with an introduction to Ajax, showing you how to write some basic applications that use client-side JavaScript to request information from a Java servlet and display it without doing a full page reload. It also presents several strategies for communicating between the client and the server, including sending raw data, and using XML or JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) for sending more complex collections of data. The book then branches out into different approaches for incorporating Ajax, which include: The Prototype and script.aculo.us Javascript libraries, the Dojo and Rico libraries, and DWRIntegrating Ajax into Java ServerPages (JSP) applicationsUsing Ajax with StrutsIntegrating Ajax into Java ServerFaces (JSF) applicationsUsing Google's GWT, which offers a pure Java approach to developing web applications: your client-side components are written in Java, and compiled into HTML and JavaScript Ajax gives web developers the ability to build applications that are more interactive, more dynamic, more exciting and enjoyable for your users. If you're a Java developer and haven't tried Ajax, but would like to get started, this book is essential. Your users will be grateful.
