b++ Amazon Recommends
If you search Amazon for Keith Jeremy’s upcoming book, by entering the DOM scripting, you might end up with very interesting results. The first book is, naturally, DOM scripting. The second one is DHTML Utopia Modern Web Design Using JavaScript & DOM by Stuart Langridge, which is also very well worth considering. But the third one is a pearl – the Ajax Training Sessions by Jorrit Smink.
Probably, the most of you find this situation funny – *laughs* Yeah, the Amazon connects the book for the soccer coaches with JavaScript and DOM book, just because the two have the term ‘Ajax’ in common. And I tell you what – you’re right, it is funny. But it’s also a pleasant surprise if you are a sports trainer, like I am. Searching for one thing and finding something totally opposite, yet relevant to my other interests, I find strange, veeery strange…

LOL!
Yeah, I had noticed that before: hilarious! Thing is, I (and I’m sure many others) saw the title “Ajax Training Sessions” and clicked on the link (only to find it was about soccer). But by clicking the link, I’ve confirmed Amazon’s supposition that the titles are related. It’s a self-fulfilling neverending cycle.

Oh, my! I didn’t knew about this click-trough counter, even though it’s so obvious. Thanks for the explanation, Keith – I was almost scared that I’m possessed : )

I have bought DHTML Utopia Modern Web Design Using JavaScript & DOM by Stuart Langridge and it is worth well of it. Don’t wait for DOM scripting, no way, buy Utopia and start developing now.
