Advanced Ajax: improve your knowledge of the language
If you are on a lookout for a book which can put better light on Ajax then you need to take a look at 'Advanced Ajax: Architecture and Best Practices 'by Shawn M. Lauriat which tries to plug the knowledge gap by highlighting the various tools, technologies and best practices. It has got something to offer for every developer. It covers both client and server side technologies. Here Ajax has been highlighted more as a means rather than an end.
Proper examples have been provided and the basics have been covered before focusing on the main issues. Client side technologies basics have been covered coupled with client-side architecture specifics. java script object model and the prototype-based inheritance have also been explained for developers having knowledge of Java and other server side technologies. On the whole it should help both beginners and people with prior knowledge.
