Basic AJAX

[lavarock09]

Hey,

Can anyone help me out with learning some basic AJAX?

Should I learn javascript first? What?

Thanks,
Chris

Ajax is JavaScript, so yes, basic JavaScript is the place to start. If you're willing to fork out the money for a book, The JavaScript Bible (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0764557432/sr=8-1/qid=1144608703/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-5748662-5459826?%5Fencoding=UTF8) is an excellent resource. It's what got me started a month or so ago, and I've wandered into the field of Ajax already.

Once you get the basics of JavaScript down, this article (http://www.sitepoint.com/article/remote-scripting-ajax) is easy to follow and covers the subject of Ajax fairly well.

As I'm sure you'd like to just immediately skip to the Ajax part, I will say you are very unlikely to understand it without brushing up on the structure and sytax of JavaScript using sources elsewhere.
