Book Reviews of Head Rush Ajax (Head First)
Book Review: Slightly disappointed
Summary: 3 Stars
I've read a couple of the Head First books and really loved them, but was a bit disappointed with this book.
It repeats itself slightly too much, and I found myself skipping sections because it was just going through yet again what I had just read.
I also knew about some stuff like the DOM already and it would have been good to have a 'if you know the following you can skip this chapter' section.
I don't want a reference book but it would be really useful to have the complete code for each of the projects described in one place somewhere. When I tried to write my app after reading the book, it didn't work and it took me ages to work out what exactly I'd missed out. Some pointers on common mistakes would also have been good.
It's still quite a good book, but I guess after the Head First books I'd come to expect more. I wish it had been slightly more ambitious and tried to cover a bit more.
