Title: Lackluster
Product review: This book is terrible. The exposition is rather poor and shallow. Too focused on Java and not JavaScript/Ajax. The authors knowledge of JavaScript come across as being peripheral and unfocused. This book is simply riding the Ajax craze wave and if you're a self-respecting programmer, you'll be returning this book in no time. Terribly disappointed. There are two other books on Ajax/JavaScript that do a much, much better job at explaining the technology and its uses than this primer; I'd give the names, but don't want to cross-advertise.
