I was reading Ajax in Action (Manning Publication) book. I liked the concept of four principles of AJAX.
- Browser hosts application and not content
- Server delivers data and not content
- User interaction with the application can be fluid and continuous
- and most important. This is real coding and requires discipline.
Also this book clearly defines "ajax" as a concept. Most of us already know JavaScript,CSS, DOM; only thing we need to read about is XMLHttpRequest (XHR in short). I recommend this book to anyone who want to gain actual insight in such a wonderful topic.

- http://www.mootools.net , http://www.jquery.com : some good libraries to learn and mootools’s base class is best part of the library.
More to come enjoy…
