3.0 out of 5 stars Ajax, September 26, 2007
This review is from: Ajax Starter Kit (Paperback)
This is a good product for all that would like a complete beginners series. However, it is truly made for someone who has absolutely no knowledge of programming languages. The book just gives you the minimal basics and what I mean is that only a snippet of each language is provided. You can find other books and tutorials online that would be better to help you learn these languages. Plus, everything in the book/CD are already free online.
