Can anyone recommend a good book on Ajax for beginners?

Hello

I am a programmer (C++) and know a little JavaScript. I need to learn Ajax
for a project and want to buy a good, readable book so I can read on the
train etc to get me started.

Can anyone recommend a good book on the subject?

I come from the same background and found "Ajax in Action"
(http://www.manning.com/crane/) a good primer. "Pragmatic Ajax" covers
the same ground in fewer pages and less detail.

Don't start without a copy of David Flanagan's "JavaScript The
Definitive Guide" 5th edition.
