Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Ajax is at the heart of the Web 2.0 revolution. It isn't a technology but, rather, is a technique that leverages other technologies and techniques, such as CSS, XML, DHTML, and XHTML. Many Web designers and programmers would like to incorporate Ajax in their projects because of the amazing functionality it can add to a Web site, but they can't because of the steep learning curve. That's where this book steps in. It makes learning Ajax fun and easy -- a great place to start! Visual QuickProject Guides focus on a single project. In this case the project is creating a business employee directory, like an address book. What's being created is a better, new kind of Web site.

- Very informative book
Very good resource, it is a very good book and I highly recommend it. It is designed for people who know web programming but are want to learn Ajax, and it has helped me.

- Great guide - Do It Yourself
I must admit I was disappointed when I first opened this book. Large fonts, half-empty pages, I thought they just wanted to extend 20-30 page text to 140+ and make money.
I was wrong, I mistakenly thought that this was going to be like PHP6 & MySql5 from the same author. That book is a heavy one with 600+ pages where author goes into every single detail.

- Great introduction
This will not be the last thing you want to read about Ajax, but it should be the first. Great introduction: clearly written, easy to follow sample code, and thankfully concise.

The author has put up a supporting web site. There's a forum and the author responds to questions. He has also provided all the sample code on the site. You can also copy and paste the SQL statements to create the database, tables, and insert the sample data.

- good visual guide
very concise yet descriptive illustrations for creating a project with AJAX. Of course it is not a Bible for this technology, but a very very handy book which gived the basic idea.

- Good AJAX begginer workshop in a book
The book jacket lists it as a beginner level book. It says: "Familiarity with HTML, JavaScript, PHP and CSS would be helpful but is not required." It's true that the project doesn't involve anything terribly complicated in any of these areas. Still, if ALL of these are unfamiliar to you, I'd guess it would be quite difficult to follow what is going on simply because there are so many components interacting. (Actually there are a few more involved as well: MySQL, SQL and XML).
