Ajax, the popular term for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, is one of the most
important combinations of technologies for web developers to know these days.
With its rich grouping of technologies, Ajax developers can create interactive
web applications with XML-based web services, using JavaScript in the browser
to process the web server response.
Taking complete advantage of Ajax, however, requires something more than your
typical "how-to" book. What it calls for is Ajax Hacks from O'Reilly.
This valuable guide provides direct, hands-on solutions that take the mystery
out of Ajax's many capabilities. Each hack represents a clever way to accomplish
a specific task, saving you countless hours of searching for the right answer.
A smart collection of 80 insider tips and tricks, Ajax Hacks covers all
of the technology's finer points. Want to build next-generation web applications
today? This book can show you how. Among the multitude of topics addressed,
it shows you techniques for:
- Using Ajax with Google Maps and Yahoo Maps
- Displaying Weather.com data
- Scraping stock quotes
- Fetching postal codes
- Building web forms with auto-complete functionality
Ajax Hacks also features a number of advanced hacks for accelerated web
developers. Discover how to create huge, maintainable bookmarklets, how to use
client-side storage for Ajax applications, and how to call a built-in Java object
from JavaScript using Ajax. The book even addresses best practices for testing
Ajax applications and improving maintenance, performance, and reliability for
JavaScript code.

complements other O'Reilly titles such as Head Rush Ajax and JavaScript:
