Here is what our customers are saying about this product.

"I have nearly every book SitePoint have to offer. All very high quality books, produced by expert's in their fields - this book included. Well done to all the team on such high quality products!"

Ross Young 5 stars, 27 May 2008

"The book is excellent, very informative.

"But maybe better checking for typos etc before the book goes to print.

"On international delivery a tracking number would be useful. I understand tracking on your site is difficult but the number helps find the package in the destination country if the person wants to phone the local post office for collection etc.

"Anyway keep up the excellent work."

Deryk Hopley 5 stars, 25 Mar 2008

"While it was not the greatest book I ever read in my 30 plus years of IT, it did all I needed it to do.

"We needed a jump start and this book did just that very well.

"Over all, if was very satisfactory.

"The book is well written, in depth and uses 'easy to understand' explanations.

"The only thing that could be improved is more basic examples to use as a foundation to build common AJAX requirements. For example I had a need the other day to fill in numerous form fields based on a form drop down box selection. Although the book could of provided the information on how to go about it, none of the examples where quite what I was after and would have taken considerable time to modify / build from scratch. Instead I found another resource on the web which gave the exact requirements I needed, so I just changed a small amount of code to suit and was up and running in 30 minutes.

"Great book, just some more basic examples would have been great to build apps, thus saving time valuable time.

"good work Matthew,

"Phil Read."

Philip A Read 4 stars, 1 Nov 2007

"Well, I'm not quite sure if I got it completely but so far I can tell that this book is good written.
However, as I'm not really a script beginner I struggled sometimes with some long humps at the beginning of the book.

"The introduction of certain Request-codes are long explained.

"Anyway, I guess if you're a newby in scripting I recommend this book highly. For advanced scripter, I recommend it too because Matthew Eernisse is VERY clean with his programming and reminds you of later troubles.

"So well done, good written, nice explained."

Reno Leuc 3.5 stars, 14 Oct 2007

"Excellent book, well presented. Will help enormously with an upcoming AJAX project I'm starting."

Andrew Roe 4.5 stars, 3 Oct 2007

"very good book. I ahve ordered several nooks on Ruby from sitepoint and have found all of them to be very good."

Greg Ricker 5 stars, 14 Aug 2007

"The AJAX book was great - I followed all the code examples and they all worked! I learned so much!"

Jennifer Meyer 5 stars, 1 Aug 2007

"The book is good, but it was helpless, because I was looking for a book to help me to build an application such like iGoogle."

Pedro Rey Sanchiz 3 stars, 19 Jun 2007

"This volume is well written, and challenging. Readers get indepth, meaningful information using JavaScript classes and object oriented programming. Read this book to get a new appreciation on how JavaScript is used with XML, DOM, and CSS for making real time XMLHttpRequests."

Terry Gleason 5 stars, 9 Jun 2007

"Great book but my order was held up for a couple of weeks by another book that was out of stock."
