Understanding Ajax book review
The competition among Ajax programming books has gotten all the more fierce with Prentice Hall's excellent Understanding Ajax. While many Ajax texts are good at covering a handful of advanced Ajax-related topics, this one starts at the beginning and covers every necessary aspect of Ajax programming in just the right amount of detail.
Understanding Ajax is divided into three parts: an Ajax introduction, case studies dealing with Ajax libraries, and appendices that explain popular Ajax libraries in depth. The first section is among the best introductions to Ajax that I've yet read; every concept, term, and technique is explained simply, then shown in a small but operational example. Once the basic concept is established, the author ventures further into more complex uses and alternative approaches.
In terms of content quality, this book is easy to follow and understand. The code samples are perfectly conceived and formed, and for the most part will actually work in your Web browser. Where appropriate, the author builds on previous examples so that you can see your little program evolve as you expand your knowledge of the subject.
