Ajax Server Controls Book

Yesterday, I received my copy of "Advanced ASP.NET Ajax Server Controls". I had a chance to get an early peek at the content when Adam and Joel asked me to write the foreword for their book.

One thing I liked about this book is that this is one of the few that dive deep into the framework, its architecture and extensibility, and address the power-user/developer scenarios.

If you're building applications in Ajax today, and want to take that to the next level, you'll want to look into the platform deeper beyond the out-of-the-box features i.e. its extensibility. You'll specifically want to build reusable components and controls, on both the server and on the client. Check out this book on more details like "the client script framework", "the script application object", "localization" and "the control toolkit" amongst many other relevant topics.
