Jeremy Keith is a great technology instructional writer. This is the second book of his that I have read, the first was DOM Scripting. Both books are very adapt and explaining complicated web development in a brief amount of time. However this is my major complaint of the book. It was a little short. I wasn't really expecting the end all be all Ajax book, but some of the examples seemed a little rushed.
This book is a great introduction to Ajax but you will need additional resources to become comfortable using it. Also, you should read through DOM Scripting before you pick this up, the examples will be much easier to understand if you do. Not to mention a little PHP knowledge is helpful, but totally not a requirement.

Really details all limitations and some great practical ways to use Ajax. Also helped a ton with making a 100% solid Ajax call as many people struggle with early on using Ajax. Problem was the book was a bit over my head and I need something that will give me more practical application. Going to check out Head First Ajax and hopefully that will fill the gaps this didn't. Still a great book though.

Excellent book. A good beginning for learning Ajax, because the author does not rely on libraries or frameworks but uses plain javascript. This makes the techniques explained in this book really bulletproof. A very good basis.

Definitely outdated. Maybe at the time it came out it was not too bad.
