Pro Ajax and PHP: Building Highly Interactive Applications is the first book to introduce how these two popular technologies can work together to create next generation applications. Covering many of the most commonplace topics developers encounter in daily web application development tasks, Babin guides readers through topics such as enhanced forms validation, data display and manipulation, JavaScript debugging, and security considerations. The result is a book that not only discusses how two of the world's most talked about technologies can come together to create amazing applications, but is also based upon a real-world context, enabling developers to immediately begin applying what they've learned to their own situation.

From the reviews:
"Within the hype of the Web 2.0 movement, Ajax is seen as a star technology. … The book is well organized, and the author’s writing is fairly easy to follow. … For Ajax to work, the Web application user must be using a device capable of processing JavaScript, and JavaScript processing must be enabled. … This book can help someone who wants to get a basic understanding of Ajax and PHP." (Will Wallace, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (5), May, 2008)
