If you are just starting, you should read a book for beginners that introduces you to to language and it's structure. Learn about objects, functions, "datatypes", control structures ... If you find one of the keywords, that Russ listed before, your alarm bells should ring. Keep on reading, but start thinking why this is bad. (You can always return to the list and ask...) Once you feel familiar with the language, switch to Jeremy's book. It's very well written, but you should have an idea how JS works. You will find the answers to your questions in this book. When you know about JS and DomScripting it's time to jump on the AJAX-train, but not before you know the basics. Good luck!
