Review: Beginning Ajax with ASP.NET
First let me say thanks to Craig Shoemaker for sending me a copy of this book. Yes, I know it has been a while since it came out, but I just finally got around to going through it. In that time Craig has been working on another book and Microsoft has renamed Atlas to ASP.NET Ajax. Craig, Wally, Paul and Scott packed this text with gems, not only on Ajax, but also the technologies that it grew up from. The book covers how we got to this point.
