（1）前言——（8）你需要为这本书准备什么（What you need for this book）

In order to run the example code demonstrated in this book, you need a modern web browser such as Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Google Chrome, or Microsoft Internet Explorer.

为了让这本书中演示的例子跑起来，你需要一个现代浏览器，比如Mozilla Firefox,Apple Safari,Google Chrome 或者IE。

To experiment with the examples and to work on the chapter-ending exercises, you 
will also need:

•  A basic text editor

•  Web development tools for the browser such as Firebug (as described in 

Chapter 1in the Development Toolssection)

•  The full code package for each chapter, which includes a copy of the jQuery library (seen in the following Downloading the example code section)

为了试验范例，处理每一章结束时候的练习，你将需要：
1、一个基础的文本编辑器
2、浏览器的web开发工具，比如Firebug，正如第一章开发工具小节描述的那样。
3、每一章的完全代码包，包括jquery库的拷贝。请看下面的下载范例代码小节。

Additionally, to run some of the Ajax examples in Chapter 6and beyond, you will need a PHP-enabled web server.

另外，为了能运行第六章及以后几章中ajax的范例，你需要一个支持php的web服务器。
