Jeanne reviewed Ajax in Practice by Dave Crane, Bear Bibeault and Jord Sonneveld and gave it 9 out of 10 horseshoes.
The book assumes you know basic JavaScript, CSS and HTML. If you are new to Ajax, I recommend reading a "first generation" book ... first. I learned a lot about specific uses of Ajax along with examples/techniques of good Ajax code. This should definitely be the second Ajax book you read!
