I found “Ajax in Action” and “Foundations of Ajax” indispensable resources in learning about AJAX. These are great books that walk you through the whole AJAX thing, explaining the basics in detail and illustrating the technology with hundreds of examples and code snippets.
Cribot.com is a result of just a couple of weeks of perusing these books :). Check it out!

I highly recommend Emil and Erik since they’ve been at it since 1998 or so. They’ve written some pretty amazing things in what they still call dynamic HTML.
