Reviews

[Tim Chase · Rating 2 out of 5]

Ch 1-5 (AJAX): pretty decent, but a wee bit dated
Ch 6 (XML/XSLT/XPath): weird placement and material in an AJAX book
Ch 7 (RSS/Atom): weird placement, but decent
Ch 8 (JSON): not bad, but could have used more
Ch 9 (Comet): weak
Ch 10 (Maps): one of the highlights of the book
Ch 11 (Debugging): a bit dated, but decent
Ch 12-16: feels a bit like random filler

LOTS of bad server-side code with SQL injections all over the place. They're mentioned in an off-hand paragraph towards the beginning of the book, but the abundance in the text makes them hard to catch if you don't know what you're doing. Not a text I'd let AJAX-beginners learn from.

This is the first "paper" book I read about Ajax.

What I think?
Well, it is not bad as a first read for a beginner, but there are some better books.

What I don't like about it is that it doesn't put a good programming style, which may confuse and build bad programming practices on the readers.
