ASP.NET AJAX (formerly code-named ‘Atlas’) will provide a unified set of development tools within Visual Studio for rapid AJAX application development. For the first time AJAX applications can be developed seamlessly in conjunction with their supporting technologies of ASP.NET, SQL Server and Visual Studio. This is a break-through that is going to have enormous impact on the development world – as the success of the first edition of this book has shown.

Written by the author and technical reviewer of Apress’ successful Foundations of Atlas and Foundations of WPF titles, this book gives readers a deep and detailed grounding in how ASP.NET AJAX works. It takes readers swiftly through the first principals of AJAX, and deep into the heart of the technology. By the end of the book readers will know everything that they need to confidently produce cutting-edge ASP.NET AJAX applications swiftly and professionally.

This book will be based on the final full release candidate of ASP.NET AJAX as it is integrated into Visual Studio 'Orcas'.

This review is from: Foundations of ASP.NET AJAX (Expert's Voice in .NET) (Paperback)

This book is good for somebody that hasn't seen AJAX before, but I have been working with it for a little while and was hoping for something more. However, it is a foundations book, so my expectations were probably set too high. A book that has better AJAX information (though not nearly complete) is Pro ASP.NET 3.5 in C# 2008, Second Edition.

This review is from: Foundations of ASP.NET AJAX (Expert's Voice in .NET) (Paperback)

This book would be a whole heck of a lot better if it would just flesh out the examples more. Often times the author just leaves off steps and leaves some of the examples to guess work. If this book was more of a step by step tutorial it would worth its weight in gold or maybe even platinum. As it is it leaves you scratching your head a lot and saying what?
