Here is my question for Kris Hadlock. And, no, I'm not trying to be rude or mean... I'm honestly curious.
I walked into my local Barnes and Noble the other day and noticed there was literally an entire shelf of books devoted to AJAX. When I actually started going through them, I realized that mostly all of them had a common theme. It was basically here's how you use AJAX and now here's another 200 - 300 pages of filler with us using AJAX but giving no further insight into AJAX itself. I didn't actually see your book (Was probably sold out?
My question is, why the sudden uproar for AJAX books and how does your book differ from the many others that are currently out there? AJAX itself is a pretty simple technology to understand... From there on it's up to the developer on how they want to use AJAX in their application to make their application better. AJAX isn't a new programming language or anything like that, so, seeing 300 - 400 page books devoted to it makes me wonder about filler.
How does your book help with our understanding of AJAX and how will it make our development with the use of AJAX better?
