Product Description
Product Description
Ajax breathes new life into web applications by transparently communicating and manipulating data in conjunction with a server-based technology. Of all the server-based technologies capable of working in conjunction with Ajax, perhaps none are more suitable than PHP, the world’s most popular scripting language.
Beginning Ajax with PHP: From Novice to Professional is the first book to introduce how these two popular technologies can work together to create next-generation applications. Author Lee Babin covers what you commonly encounter in daily web application development tasks, and shows you how to build PHP/Ajax-enabled solutions for forms validation, file upload monitoring, database-driven information display and manipulation, web services, Google Maps integration, and more.
You’ll also be introduced to other key topics like conquering cross-platform issues, countering potential security holes, and testing and debugging JavaScript with efficiency. All examples are based on real-world scenarios, so you’ll be able to apply what you learn to your own development situations.

The file uploading section alone makes it worth buying!
I know the book is suppose to be just the beginning but even a bit more depth into the code that goes along side ajax (multi file uploading for instance) would have made this book a five star.
It makes a good start for javascript beginners and AJAX is a perfect example of why we shouldn't fear those script tags.
Also the book comprises large chunks of code which go on for pages and pages. I think this is quite indicative of the lack of instructional quality of the book. In other books such sections would be consigned to an online reference, where, in my opinion, they should be.
Definitely not a "must have".
The style basically takes you through leading by example so they have a chapter for a calendar application, a chapter for uploading files etc but the book does not really go into much detail on what the code is doing meaning that unless you're already savvy with PHP and Javascript, it would be quite difficult to learn from this book.
If you have some knowledge of PHP and Javascript, then this book is not a bad buy and isn't very expensive and could turn out to be useful and a great learning tool.
If you're not that familiar with PHP and/or Javascript, I'd suggest something else first and then maybe revisit this book later on.
All in all, not a bad book but I believe the 'example' approach will only work for half the readers, not all.
