good AJAX books

[Jas]

what are some good ajax books that will be helpful to learn ajax? Anyone have any suggestions? I search for some good ajax books on amazon, but came up dry.

I have really good ajax books. The first really good ajax book, lol, would have to be AJAX In Action. Its very thorough, and you will know the basics of ajax after reading.

But you should get to know css and javascript before you start with ajax.
