Caching XML responses on the server-side

Once you have the Ajax-enabled database interactions under your belt it will be time to take some of the strain off of your server. In this section you will learn how to cache duplicate XML responses and only update them when it is absolutely necessary.

Adding security to your Ajax requests

Security is a simple step that is missing in most Ajax-enabled web applications. The risks of having no security in a database-enabled Ajax application are critical. Learn how to take a few quick steps to ensure that the requests coming to your server are safe.
