Google Suggest and Google Maps are two examples of a new approach to web applications that we at Adaptive Path have been calling Ajax. The name is shorthand for Asynchronous JavaScript + XML, and it represents a fundamental shift in what�s possible on the Web.

It is already part of the Google toolbar..

"How to implement Google Suggest" is a chapter in every single AJAX book that's been published. When I read the first post in this thread, I had to double-check the date -- this stuff has been around a long time now, folks.

[David O'Meara]

But I still think it goes to show
1) AJAX, while still up and coming, still evokes a 'wow factor'
2) We aren't as familiar with AJAX we should be (due to reduced usage on the net?)
3) Say what you like otherwise, but Google kicks asp.

[Amitabh Reddy]

Google is late entrant in AJAX. I saw those wonders in snap.com long back.

EFH,

I had to check the date too. I was writing my book at this time last year and had that link in it. LOL.

I bet someone will figure out the Earth is round when they see Google Earth! hehehe

Where can I find AJAX tutorials?
Has "Ajax in Action" Indian edition?

[Eric Pascarello]

Where to find:
Search the internet for Ajax, plenty of stuff out there since it has been around for ages and we have had like 5 Ajax book promotions here on the ranch.

Book version:
Don't think so about the Indian cheap vesion of the AIA (don't you like the nice fonts and paper of the good version!) I do not know for a fact.

I know there is a Korean version! It is even bigger than the English version.

Google suggest (Beta) has been around for long now, in fact by now almost everybody has tutorials & articles on Ajax -- I think I did a hackathon on it almost a year ago.

Eric, do you mean cheap (we call them affordable, a USD 50 book is far too expensive here) Indian Editions are bad? They are not as bad as you might think -- though original are better?

I have belief that US and Indian versions contain same text, but Indian version are printed in India so stationery material will be different. Am I right?

Yes the content is the same, though you won't find too many coloured pages or the smooth feel to the pages[in some instances].

But anyways, I guess its the content which is important so...

[Eric Pascarello]

I was joking about the quality...lol...

I know people that go to India and always ask me what books I want from there. I wonder about the DVDs though....lol...Still do not trust those.
