5.0 out of 5 stars AJAX

This book is one of the best AJAX books that I have seen. It explains topics that are not covered in some of my other AJAX books such as network problems during data transfers. I liked it and I am using it to develop new web apps.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not for everyone
Reviewed in the United States on 9 February 2011

This book is intended for a computer science class. It's very, very dry, and its really not for everyone. The information doesn't ramp up at all, straight to advanced topics. With that said, it covers some great information, demos debugging throughout, and the author clearly demonstrates his strong knowledge of AJAX. The topics covered are worthy of a read. It's not for beginners to AJAX and/or computer programming. This should be the second book you purchase on the topic, after establishing a basic knowledge of AJAX. Worth a note, the examples use PHP, so if that's not your programming language of choice, then you might want to skip this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good AJAX book.
Reviewed in the United States on 26 July 2013

While this book covers many topics regarding AJAX, then one large section of creating your own AJAX library was - I think- extraneous.

With so many good AJAX libraries out there - JQuery and Scriptaculous - I don't see the need to creating your own.

Other than that, the other topcis were not only interesting, they were actually useful and relevant.
