    While I'm on the subject, anyone have suggestions on a good book for getting up to speed with Ajax in an Asp.net 2.0 environment?

    You don't need a book for AJAX -- it's easy peasy. Use a third party library like jQuery or Prototype, they make doing all the DOM and AJAX stuff a breeze. http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax[^]

    I'm finding the only constant in software development is change it self.

                  True:) After a virtually unknown programmer from Australia wrote a nice review and gave a 5 star rating, the book sales rank improved 10 folds. ;)

                    I have used Michael Shwarz's api, and examples with success.[^] Actually downloading the API and working with the examples is best way to learn it. For ASP.NET >2 I have found Bob Tabor's[^] videos very helpful. I am not a video person ordinarily but the videos are succinct and get right to the point. 2 cents..

                      I found Rama's book to be great. I used that and ajax.asp.net to lean ASP.Net Ajax. There are some great intro videos on that site also.

                        Manning - ASP.NET AJAX in Action Aug 2007, try this, i think it's good enough.

                          Use the Gaia toolkit (http://ajaxwidgets.com[^]) instead. It will give you everything you need on the codebehind.

                            As it turns out, Rama's in Atlanta - didn't realize that. I knew Nish had moved out here. Methinks a lunch is in order. :)

                                    Chris, I found the asp.net/ajax site to be excellent. The videos were all I needed and then some.
