Kathy Sierra writes about the new [Head Rush] series. The [Head Rush] format uses the same learning principles as the [Head First] books, but differs from [Head First] in breadth/focus of topic, prereqs, and length. Where a [Head First] book does a complete [BIG] topic from start to finish, Head Rush zooms in to a more focused piece--in this case, AJAX. So the [Head Rush] Ajax book, for example, doesn't try to teach you every frickin' detail of Java Script. It's a faster read than a typical [Head First] book, but with the same approach to helping you load the key concepts into your brain in the quickest, least painful way. At 400+ pages, this definitely doesn't quality as a Thin Book!
Jan'2007 update: it's interesting to me that they haven't release any other books in this series yet.
