how to start learning AJAX?

[johndoe444]

I tried to use some online resources. All of them covers this much:

1. How to create xmlHttpRequest in cross-browser fashion.
2. How to define onreadystatechange function
3. how to call open and send
4. how to receive and use responsetext and responsexml
5. how to do the server side thing in php/asp

I wonder how to learn more beyond that.

Besides without having any work experience in AJAX, how can I gather the expert level knowledge that would make me start right away at the next assignment at the next job?

Thanks in advance.

Start Learning AJAX from here:

Then move to intermediate level tutorials

These problems have been solved by others. Use jQuery or one of the other javascript libraries. If your interest is primarily the learning process, read the jQuery (or other) source code. Stand on the shoulders of giants.

This is the first tutorial I used.
