In order to run the example code demonstrated in this book, you need a modern web browser, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, or Microsoft Edge.
To experiment with the examples and to work on the chapter-ending exercises, you will also need the following:
- A basic text editor
- Web development tools for the browser, such as Chrome Developer Tools or Firebug (as described in the Using development tools section of Chapter 1, Getting Started)
- The full code package for each chapter, which includes a copy of the jQuery library (seen in the Downloading the example code section)
Additionally, to run some of the Ajax examples in Chapter 6, Sending Data with Ajax and beyond, you will need Node.js.
