Beta books work well when the content is new, and the readers and authors have a lot to say to each other. And when it comes to things causing a buzz, there's not much to beat Ajax. So it seemed natural to release our new Ajax book in Beta. And it's quite a beta. Right now, it's about 2/3rds complete, with really solid chapters on the basics, frameworks, UI design, and UI anti-patterns. And, to top it all off, there's a killer chapter on implementing your own version of Google maps (yup, all the code's included, and it's less than you probably think).
As with all beta books, you can buy either the PDF only or the PDF/book combo pack now. You get unlimited updates to the PDF (both during the beta process and for the lifetime of this edition of the book), and if you ordered the paper book you'll get it when it ships.
Oh, and I couldn't resist a little Rico-based Javascript on the book's page... Sorry :)
