Naylor "scratchitbook.co.uk" (Stafford, UK) - See all my reviews    This book is ideal if you already know PHP, MySQL, JavaScript and have heard of AJAX but not had the opportunity to explore it further. If you want to try AJAX but have never come accross a scenario to use it, this book provides some excellent examples which can form the basis of great projects. The theory behind all the technologies used is very clearly explained, without boring you with detail about obvious things. Right from the first chapter you start learning by examples. The examples can be easily adapted to many web projects and they cover stuff that is both useful and fun. I have found this book very enjoyable - the best I've bought in a while.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Clear and concise with the example code well explained and presented. Personally, I already had the background knowledge but had no experience of and very little knowledge of AJAX. I really needed a crash course in AJAX technologies. Two hours with this book changed that. I found it's concise approach fantastic and it is a book I can see myself returning to again and again. Overall, highly recommended, a great introduction to AJAX and a most enjoyable read.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Mccombe "euperia" (Cannock, UK) - See all my reviews    I bought this book because I realised that I needed to get to grips with Ajax technologies. As PHP is my weapon of choice this book seemed a perfect place to start. The chapters are well laid out with different ajax 'applications' well explained and coded. From basic form validation to Google Suggest, Ajax chat and Drag and drop I would recommend this book to anyone with a good grounding in PHP. PHP implementation is aimed at PHP5 using MySQL through the mysqli extensions making this book valid for a long while yet.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)
