### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Brilliant, just out of date (but still worth reading)
  

*by Y***U on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 3 May 2011*

When I bought this, I didn't realise that a) it was published in 2006, and so it quite out of date, and b) that O'Reilly had published Head First Ajax, which was supposed to be an updated version of this book, in the Head First format rather than the (very similar if you ask me) Head Rush format, which it seems people didn't like.Well, judging by my favourable impression of this book, and the poor reviews of Head First Ajax, I'm glad I made the mistake! This book is extremely well written, and explains Ajax very clearly. Obviously, if you hate the light-hearted style of the Head First series, then you won't like this one, but I really enjoyed the way they put the subject over.I have done some Ajax before, but that was using Microsoft's ASP.NET Ajax controls, not writing the raw Javascript. This books starts right at the bottom and has you writing everything. This is good in that it gives you a good idea of what's going on, and allows you to control what is being sent around, but it does mean you end up writing a lot more code than you need to.I thoroughly recommend this book, but would suggest that when you've read it, and got an idea of how to use Ajax, you then look at something like jQuery, which takes a lot of the hard work out of this. It enables you to do all the stuff that this book tells you to code yourself, as well as a lot more. Having cut your teeth with this book, you should find it easy to write Ajax applications with a good framework like jQuery.My only criticism of this book is a small, but irritating one. The author seems to be under the impression that server-side script means PHP. Granted, he grudgingly mentions that you might use Java or Ruby, but always refers to the server scripts as PHP scripts. This didn't cause any problems in understanding the subject matter, but was annoying.Overall an excellent purchase, especially as you can buy it so cheaply nowadays.

    Slightly disappointed
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 30 May 2006*

I've read a couple of the Head First books and really loved them, but was a bit disappointed with this book.It repeats itself slightly too much, and I found myself skipping sections because it was just going through yet again what I had just read.I also knew about some stuff like the DOM already and it would have been good to have a 'if you know the following you can skip this chapter' section.I don't want a reference book but it would be really useful to have the complete code for each of the projects described in one place somewhere. When I tried to write my app after reading the book, it didn't work and it took me ages to work out what exactly I'd missed out. Some pointers on common mistakes would also have been good.It's still quite a good book, but I guess after the Head First books I'd come to expect more. I wish it had been slightly more ambitious and tried to cover a bit more.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Very easy to follow
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 10 October 2006*

This was the first Head Rush book I've read and found it an interesting format. Head Rush books don't have the typical layout and feature hand drawn illustrations and notes you probably do yourself when studying. This Ajax introduction is very much for beginners with an emphasis on maintaining enthusiasm and memory recall while learning. If you are more experienced in programming JavaScript or any other language for that matter, you would be better suited to one of the "Professional Ajax" titles.
