This book is a great one introducing with the AJAX technology. Well explained technical details. Best part is writer didn't just explain in theory, he also gave example codes with pictures to visualize what he was trying to explain.

I coem from a JavaScript background, and his explanation of the javascript client library was not very good at all, on top of this, he went into all this stuff before even mentioning or talking about update panel and the easier entry microsoft server controls.
i remember dumping the book several times.
he also has a tendancy to talk about conceptual and technical details before even demonstrating any examples, this really makes it almost impossible to absorb the benefits of the explanation (mmainly when it is a deep level concept) and the reading becomes pointless and you have to see an example, then go back to the start where the theoretical information was given in order to create a proper flow of reading and thought.
Basically, this book is structurally unsound and has no order, however... I hope this isn't characteristic of dinos books in general.

I am using this book a lot. Even though I am a newbie to AJAX I foud this book and the examples easy to follow and implement into my own apps. If you are new to AJAX add this book to your library.

If you've already had a good introduction to the ASP.NET Ajax Extensions, then this short book is all you'll ever need. The thing I appreciate about Dino's writing is his exploration underneath the hood. This can be said about all of his books. Knowing how things work under the hood seperate the rock stars of the industry from the rest!
Nice work and thanks.

This book is a very good introduction to MS Ajax. It teach the basic and some more advanced topic as well.
It begins with the Ajax programming model, the Client Side of ajax and the Server side (UpdatePanel and friends).
It gives also a quick view to the Ajax control toolkit.
