All ajax development I have learned I have done so by looking at what other sites have done and sorting it out. I will say use firebug for darn sure, as it will make your life much easier. My friend Shawn (http://www.frozen-o.com/blog/) is currently writing an Advanced Ajax book for Prenhall and he recommended "Understanding Ajax" by Joshua Eichorn And while that's probably a good book, really your best friend is already right in front of you. =) Hi Brian,

Congrats on your getting married! I hope all goes well for you both in days to come! My main reason for writing was I found you postong on the DOM Scripting.com blog and found that I agree with you on every point you made regarding the whole Ajax Vs. Flash argument. Having created things (as well as full sites) in Flash, it's a nice tool, and it has it's place. But if I'm trying to reach a wider audience then I want to know the tools that will allow me to do that. I was wondering if you could tell me what books you have or what sites you would recommend someone who's looking to learn Ajax. I have the Bulletproof Ajax book, and it's a start. But, if you've seen that book, it's not a thick book at all. I don't know JavaScript, but know a bit of ActionScript (thanks to Flash), and I know that it's based loosely on JavaScript (mainly in syntax). So I guess I have somewhat of an understanding about how the script should flow. But I could really use some advice as to where to go online or what books to get, so I can really get in and wrap my head around it. I’m going to re-do my own website, and I would like to add some interactivity that I thought I’d be able to achieve with Flash, but cannot without re-publishing the whole .swf again (ugh!) In short, any assistance you could give me regarding Ajax, DOM Scripting, JavaScript would be great and graciously accepted. Thanks! Sincerely, Brian K.
