Ajax and REST Recipes A Problem-Solution Approach

I wrote this, and I have a good feeling about it. It’s an odd way to begin a book, but I like this book because of what it represents; the building of Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) applications using Web services. I have been developing Web service-based applications since 1999. With Ajax, Web services has found its killer combination. This book focuses on practical solutions for implementing Ajax, JavaScript, and Representational State Transfer (REST)–based Web services and functionality. I want to promote the
development of applications that are decoupled (client code is separate from the server code), applications that can be adequately tested and maintained, and code that can be used by clients outside of the Ajax context.
