Hi:

Can anyone recommend a good book on AJAX?
TIA

Never mind. I searched this groups (I should have done it before
posting) and found 3 recommendations:

JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook
Pragmatic Ajax : A Web 2.0 Primer
Ajax in Action

Actually, any further comments on these 3 would be helpful.

Another new one (I am only just looking through it, so no coment) is
"Professional Ajax". See authors web site <URL:www.nczonline.net>

Ajax in Action is decent.

I would also recommend checking out Foundations of Ajax (pub. Apress) -
it's a relatively short and to-the-point primer on the basics.

I don't think this one has much to do with Ajax.

I never needed anything besides Jim (Ley)'s short tutorial:

<URL:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX> is probably useful
to clarify some common misconceptions.
