Sadly, i can't agree. "Head Rush Ajax" devotes one whole page (big fonts, crazy layout) to Prototype, and only covers one of the Ajax methods, which amounts to just a few percent of the whole API. Rumour has it that Sitepoint (publishers of the second best js book ever: "The Javascript Anthology") will be publishing a book completely devoted to Prototype... now that's gonna rock. For AJAX specific books available now, i recommend manning's "AJAX in action" and the "Pragmatic AJAX" book. The manning book is especially interesting in that it goes waaaaay beyond the "here's how to make an xmlHttp request" stuff and gets into things like patterns (esp. MVC style development) and refactoring in javascript. Not that i'm looking to develop the next google calendar or anything, but if i ever wanted to, this book would be the one living under my pillow. /t ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:244407 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
