I received a surprise in the mail the recently. Prentice Hall Publishing sent me a copy of a book I did a technical review for some time ago. The book is called: AJAX: Creating Web Pages with Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. Edmond Woychowsky wrote this book and in my opinion he is gifted in his ability to write technical material. His book is both highly technical and at the same time very readable. I was not dozing nor after having read an entire page ever once thought "what did I just read..." With bookshelves in my home full of technical books I can honestly say that most authors find it very hard to write a good book. This book is a really good introduction to AJAX and I recommend it.
