Reviews for Pragmatic Ajax: A Web 2.0 Primer

1. Great primer for Ajax

   Rated 4 out of 5 stars, July 12th, 2006

   Another great book from Pragmatic Programmers. A useful resource on what you need to know about Ajax, once you've grasped what Ajax is and how it works.
   
   The book is not a 'teach yourself Ajax from scratch' book, rather it serves as an introduction to the various Ajax frameworks / libraries which is what you'll be using once you grasp the basics.
   
   The first section on creating a Google maps type application was a bit overwhelming, but subsequent chapters on Prototype, Dojo etc explained clearly and concisely what they were, with some basic examples of how to call their API. It serves as a great handle on where Ajax is at and where you should be looking to get further into it.
