An Ajax Book You Can Use--From SitePoint

SitePoint Pty. Ltd. (sitepoint.com), provider of fun, practical, and
easy-to-understand content for web professionals, today announced the 
release of "Build Your Own AJAX Web Applications" by Matthew Eernisse.

Unlike other Ajax books published to date, SitePoint's title answers
the critical question: How can you produce AJAX applications that 
don't disrupt the browser's navigation tools (i.e. bookmarks and the 
back button), or leave users of assistive technologies like screen 
readers in the dark?

"This book will help you build responsible, professional, and robust 
AJAX applications, enhancing the user experience while ensuring 
minimal impact on your app's accessibility," notes Mark Harbottle, CEO of
SitePoint.

In the book, readers will find all the code needed to produce the slick
fades, slides, instant feedback, and drag-and-drop capabilities that make 
any good AJAX application. Yet all features are implemented in realistic 
and pragmatic ways that address concerns of backwards compatibility and
accessibility--issues with which developers grapple daily.

As with every SitePoint book, all the code in "Build Your Own AJAX Web 
Applications" has been tested across all major browsers and platforms by a
third party, to ensure that all scripts are compatibile and immediately 
deployable in reader's own projects.
