AJAX is something I’ve been wanting to get into, but haven’t had a real reason to dive in. Hopefully this will convince me to get it going. Looking forward to it!

I’m a designer but also a developer i have to say. I write code client side & server side too. I need ajax in this moment only for cp interfaces to interact with server without refreshing the page, in fact i need to build things similar with basecamp from 37 signal. I really like accessibility & usability, and for that ajax is not ready. Anyway this book just help me understand exactly the way is function ajax, and for me is enough.

I’m in the middle of your book, and have found the examples and explanations about Ajax easy to understand and follow. I also have your DOM Scripting book; in fact I recommended it to my college instructor last year, and he is now using it for this semester’s JavaScript class.

For item #2 - "Some server-side language beginner book, PHP preferred", might I suggest David Powers "PHP Solutions" book which came out last fall?

David has done an excellent job explaining PHP for the beginner. The book is large, over 400 pages, but each chapter is focused on a single topic (writing php scripts, forms, includes, uploading files, etc.). David provides detailed information and examples in each of the chapters.

In addition, his code uses best practices and web standards, is easy to read (good comments!), and it validates, showing that extra steps have been taken. David frequently visits the Friends of Ed forums, answering questions from readers about the book’s examples.

I’d just like to say that as a reader of this site and Adactio much of the book was familiar to me. Nonetheless I’d definitely recommend to anyone who wants to get started with AJAX. After reading it, I’ve passed it around to many colleagues in my lab, all of whom said it was the most painless programming book they’ve ever read. The examples are excellent, the explanations are simple and precise. It’s just a top notch book. Congrats.

Des
