Recently, had a chance to review a book on AJAX called ‘Beginning AJAX with ASP.NET’ by Wally McClure, Scott Cate, Paul Glavich and Craig ShoeMaker. Wally was kind enough to send me the book. The entire review is posted on the local user group web site, however here’s an excerpt.
This is a good book for a beginner learning about Ajax, a pragmatic book, with code samples and illustrations in every chapter following every concept introduced. Some of the examples could have been more robust however that this is minor issue given that there is a lot of useful information and references and emphasis on standards even in the simplest examples. There are about 13 chapters, and the book does discuss the XMLHttpRequest object in detail, and some of the more popular AJAX frameworks.
