The only ASP.NET AJAX book you will need

This book provides excellent coverage of ASP.NET AJAX and is geared towards the expert ASP.NET developer.

On that note, ASP.NET Ajax in Action has a great flow. Especially the transitions of the book and the...

As I read through the chapters it became clear to me that the content was no less stunning than the readability! The charts and tables are not merely a reprint of MSDN, and the authors...
