[Book] "Professional Ajax" - is it ok if I prefer Open Source ???

Hi,

I'm going to create applications PHP + AJAX + Linux + Apache + Postgres.
- Other Open Source technologies / Frameworks, etc. also :)

Is this book http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0471777781
suitable for my "case"? I'm asking persons who read this book :)

I wouldn't like to buy something unuseless, which for example
is completely concentrated on .NET, C#, ASP.NET, m$something etc...
- I'm not going to use/learn those technologies.

On the other hand, maybe someon of you will tell me: "AJAX is AJAX
- and you use it independently from the platform".
So maybe (?) those examples would be usefull anyway? after modifications
So maybe I should buy this book also for my future open source
applications.
I would also appreciate indications like this - and buy this book :)

Thank you in advance,
Best regards~~Piotrek~~pe3no.

P.S. Sorry for my unperfect English :)

Dear Piotrek,

personally, I liked this one:

FWIW.. I haven't read that book.. but...

The real conceived use of Ajax is to avoid unnecessary data
retrieval (and so JSON); but that is proved to be wrong in many
applications.

Many applications prefer "degrades gracefully" architecture and
unobtrusive JavaScript. The idea is:

1. You construct the web application in standard compliance manner
2. Then you Ajaxify the application--usually "degrades gracefully"
manner

SEO and easy interation is major advantage. My <spam>BehaviorS.js</
spamand JQuery libs could be mentioned here.
