From the Back Cover
Are you ready to build more responsive web applications with richer UI elements? This detailed guide to the Microsoft AJAX Library shows you how to bring together ASP.NET 2.0 with an object-oriented approach to JavaScript development using this new framework from Microsoft. You'll gain an in-depth understanding of the ASP.NET AJAX architecture, including the server controls, client-side JavaScript library, and runtime environment. By following the numerous examples, you'll see how much your users benefit from this new class of web applications that manipulate the browser's DOM and communicate with the server to update the user's view of a page without waiting for the entire page to be refreshed.
Written by Microsoft's lead ASP.NET AJAX developer together with an in-the-field Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional), this book guides you through the core of the Microsoft AJAX Library and the controls you will use to leverage AJAX. It provides you with code samples to take advantage of some of the popular shared-source ASP.NET AJAX Toolkit controls and extensions. And you'll work through debugging functionality in Visual Studio® and the browser as well as methods for effective testing.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Book,
By Scott Guthrie (Redmond, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Professional ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX (Programmer to Programmer) (Paperback)
Matt and Dan's ASP.NET AJAX book is an excellent one. It is packed with useful content, and contains a lot of great code examples that demonstrate real-world usage examples.
The book covers all of the core ASP.NET AJAX Scenarios: - Server-Side Controls (UpdatePanel, UpdateProgress, etc) - Client-side libraries - Networking Stack - Application Services - AJAX Control Toolkit Matt Gibbs is the development manager of ASP.NET at Microsoft, and led the ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 development team - so obviously knows his stuff well. Dan Wahlin is a great trainer and presenter of ASP.NET and ASP.NET AJAX. You are in very good hands with them. I highly recommend this book.

Very good first AJAX reference,
By

This review is from: Professional ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX (Programmer to Programmer) (Paperback)
I have nearly completed my first tour through the book. It is well-organized, written with considerable clarity, possesses a reasonable number of focused examples, and covers ALL the bases in good depth, including deployment and custom controls. Some very minor deficiencies are a scattered few forward references and a muddling of the details of JSON serialization when accessing web services, but the errata and future printings will hopefully clear these up soon.
Thua I strongly recommend it as the FIRST book to introduce yourself seriously to mainstream AJAX 2.0.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Hard to read - disorganized flow,
By A. Solorzano "ValueHunter" (ValueHunter) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Professional ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX (Programmer to Programmer) (Paperback)
This book was so hard to read that I finally gave up on it and bought another book. It is not the technical part that is hard, but how the author(s) presents it. The presentation and flow is horrible. Some chapters would be okay to read and I would get hope that maybe I just did not understand the authors style, then the next chapter would go back to the very poor writing style. The authors clearly know their technical stuff, but their writing needs a lot of work.
