Thanks a lot Andy. I knew there were different frameworks out there but wasn't sure how that fit in with AJAX. I assume they are all AJAX but much like .NET they all have different built in functions etc?

If you just want AJAX then it might be worth it to write your own code, but if you're wanting "rich internet apps" then you'll be needing DOM manipulation and effects anyway. My choice has, for the last 3 years, been jQuery. It's lightweight and super easy to use. jQuery is to JavaScript like ColdFusion is to server side languages. It makes it fast, easy, and good. The Learning jQuery 1.3 book comes highly recommended. I'd also suggest you jump on the official jQuery mailing list over at Google Groups: http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en andy -----Original Message----- From: webmas...@pegweb.com [mailto:webmas...@pegweb.com] Sent: Thursday, July 02, 2009 12:56 PM To: cf-talk Subject: AJAX Can anyone recommend a good book for AJAX? I want to start working on more web 2.0 style apps and with the new CF server it seems to make it easier. I just need to understand more about it and how it all works. I can JavaScript and I can CF so I wouldn't think it would be too hard to pickup. Any recommendations for reading material on the subject?
