What's that? You promised this great new Ajax application in 2 weeks? You could probably use a good JavaScript toolkit and a good book on how to use it. May I suggest Dojo (http://www.dojotoolkit.org) and Mastering Dojo as the book? It's now available for electronic purchase at Pragmatic - http://www.pragprog.com. Printed copies purchased there will start shipping the week of June 23rd. Or you can buy them at Amazon the week after, or at your favorite bookstore the week after that.
Pragmatic Press books have their own style. If you've read one of their books (like the bestselling Agile Development with Rails), you know what I mean. They read like novels where the first chapters really grab you, then the subsequent ones unfold the topics evenly and gracefully. People have different learning styles, but I particularly like this format because it helps you learn the Way of Dojo - in other words, what concepts hold it all together. The more you learn the concepts, the less you need to memorize. Sounds good, eh?
