Posted by rick, January 25, 2007 @ 8:17 am in Sightings

Scott Raymond latest book, Ajax on Rails, has recently been published by O’Reilly. He also wrote What’s New in Prototype 1.5? on XML.com regarding the latest changes for Prototype 1.5.

• The book demonstrates how to use Ajax and Rails to build
  high-performance, scalable applications without having to write reams of
  difficult-to-maintain JavaScript code.
• Provides a thorough, low-level understanding of what’s under the hood,
  with a high-level understanding of how to use Ajax techniques
  effectively.
• Includes a complete reference to Prototype 1.5 and script.aculo.us 1.6.1,
  which can be used even outside of the Rails platform.
• Three fully worked out applications—a quiz program, a photo gallery,
  and a workgroup collaboration tool—show how everything fits together
  in practice.
