Customer Reviews:
  1. A good introduction to Ajax
    This book is for people who already know HTML very well and are familiar - but not necessarily experts - with CSS and Javascript. If you are not in that category you should probably check out "Head First HTML and CSS" first. This is not a reference book, but a book for understanding and, more...
  2. Good book, poor editing
    First, a preface...I like Head First Books. I feel they make great primers for advanced subjects because of their plain-language approach, the playful fun they have, and the focus on the whys as opposed to a cookbook approach. Now the review (intended for the 1st edition): The selected...

Lawyers told to represent murder suspect who won't help with proceedings

Lawyers for a man charged with helping his brother gun down a Pasco couple were told Tuesday that they must continue to represent him.

Judge Carrie Runge denied a defense motion to withdraw in the case of Jose Garcia-Morales.

Runge said the court already determined that Garcia-Morales is competent and is choosing not to actively participate in the legal proceedings.

"The defense counsel has done everything possible to communicate with Mr. Garcia-Morales and keep him abreast of the case and what's going on," Runge said, noting there was no indication of a conflict or falling out.

The judge also said if she allowed Shelley Ajax and Moe Spencer to withdraw because their client no longer will communicate with them, the court would have difficulty getting another lawyer to take on the case after that finding.

Garcia-Morales is scheduled for trial March 14 in Franklin County Superior Court. He is charged with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder.

Ajax is no longer an experimental approach to website development, but the key to the creation of browser-based applications that form the cornerstone of Web 2.0. Head First Ajax gives an up-to-date perspective that lets you see exactly what you can do - and it was done - with Ajax. With it, you get a highly practical, in depth, and mature view of what is now a mature development approach.

Using the unique and highly effective visual format that has become the first head of bestselling titles in the run, this book provides a big picture overview to introduce Ajax, and then explores the use of individual Ajax components - including the JavaScript event model, DOM, XML, JSON and more - as it progresses. You will find plenty of sample applications that illustrate the concepts, exercises, quizzes, and other interactive features to help you keep what you have learned.

Head First Ajax covers:

The event model of the prototype javascript library

The book also examines the implications of server-side development of Ajax applications, and uses a "black box" approach to server-side components....
