The Easy, Example-Based Guide to Ajax for Every Web Developer
Using Ajax, you can build Web applications
with the sophistication and usability of traditional desktop applications and you can do it using standards and open source software.
Now, for the first
time, theres an easy, example-driven guide to Ajax for every Web and open source developer, regardless of experience.
Edmond Woychowsky begins
with simple techniques involving only HTML and basic JavaScript.
Then, one step at a time, he introduces techniques for building increasingly rich
applications.
Dont worry if youre not an expert on Ajaxs underlying technologies; Woychowsky offers refreshers on them, from JavaScript to the
XMLHttpRequest object.
Youll also find multiple open source technologies and open standards throughout, ranging from Firefox to Ruby and MySQL.

learn how to use frameworks such as Ruby on Rails to get the job done fast.
