Written for experienced web developers, Professional Ajax shows how to combine tried–and–true CSS, XML, and JavaScript technologies into Ajax. This provides web developers with the ability to create more sophisticated and responsive user interfaces and break free from the "click–and–wait" standard that has dominated the web since its introduction.
Professional Ajax discusses the range of request brokers (including the hidden frame technique, iframes, and XMLHttp) and explains when one should be used over another. You will also learn different Ajax techniques and patterns for executing client–server communication on your web site and in web applications.

In addition to a full chapter case study showing how to combine the book′s Ajax techniques into an AjaxMail application, Professional Ajax uses many other examples to build hands–on Ajax experience. Some of the other examples include:
