Pro Ajax and the .Net 2.0 Platform

By Daniel Woolston

This book follows on from Apress' extremely successful Foundations of Ajax title. It takes the reader on a detailed journey through the Ajax technology and shows them how to integrate Ajax with Microsoft's popular .NET 2.0 Framework to produce their own implementations of the functionality they're beginning to see on the web. The keystone of the book is practicality. We show people how to put theory into practice and bring Ajax to their web applications in a professional manner.

For instance, with many of the sample applications, Mr. Woolston will dump about...

Best Ajax Book I've Read

Pro Ajax and the .NET 2.0 Platform gets high marks from me because it is concise, informative and easy to follow.

In the first three chapters I learned...

Especially if you are approaching Ajax from a Microsoft/.Net platform - this is the best book I have seen. One other gem I found in the book is the chapter on performance. It is sometimes hard to trace and debug Ajax calls...
