One excellent free AJAX resource is Michael Mahemoff's softwareas.com podcast. He also has a companion website goes along with his book ajaxpatterns.org (although it seems to be down right now).
Start here: http://softwareas.com/ajax-basics-podcast-1 and work your way forward from there. Once you understand the fundamentals, find a simple framework to help you get started. I like MyBic. http://www.litfuel.net/mybic/ It's pretty lightweight, but has some nice extra features like a built-in debugger, and default behavior for gracefully handling network-down issues and things like that. What other AJAX frameworks are people using? Ken, I know you've rolled your own that looks super-lean. I'd like to try that. I've tried PEAR's HTML_AXAJ, but found it overkill. -- Dell On Nov 9, 2006, at 11:38 AM, Ben Sgro (sk) wrote: > So, I'd like to look into Ajax. > > Any good books you can recommend?
