Looking to develop a contact manager similar to Gmail's interface.
While I have a basic understanding of AJAX and some experience with jQuery, my JavaScript skills are limited. Any suggestions for books or blogs to improve them would be welcome.
Thank you!
If you are considering utilizing a Java backend or are open to deploying on Google App Engine, you may want to explore the possibilities with Google Web Toolkit. They offer a wealth of tutorial resources and sample applications, including a Mail application that could potentially be customized to meet your specific requirements.
If GWT is not your preferred option, there are numerous JavaScript UI Libraries available for use alongside any backend system; such as YUI, Ext, jQuery UI, MochaUI, and others. Alternatively, you can create your own user interface utilizing foundational cross-browser libraries (YUI, Ext JS, jQuery, MooTools, etc.) or simply traditional JavaScript/HTML/CSS/DOM.
The choice ultimately depends on your specific needs, desired level of code control, aesthetics, behavior, and personal preferences.
It is advisable to enhance your understanding of JavaScript fundamentals, Object Oriented JavaScript, HTML/CSS, and server-side language, in order to develop applications with structured, clean, and sustainable code. There are plenty of instructional resources available on this topic.
In reality, locating a tutorial that aligns with your chosen development stack and expanding from there would be most beneficial.
Striving for a balance between the two approaches would likely yield optimal results.
While I may not have the exact solution to your question, there are open source applications available for reference. By examining the source code, you may gain some insight.

If Ajax is what you're interested in, take a look at PHP AJAX File Manager (PAFM)

Currently, I am in the process of creating a project similar to the Gmail contacts manager. My tool of choice is ExtJs paired with Alfresco as the repository. While I have only delved into extjs and javascript for around 3 months at this point, I can confidently say that utilizing a powerful javascript library like extjs has significantly expedited my understanding of javascript (thanks to the fantastic community support and plethora of online examples). If you are considering using jquery, I am positive you will experience a similar learning curve.
Unfortunately, I do not have any specific book recommendations to offer. However, I highly encourage exploring resources such as StackOverflow and relevant library forums. There is a high likelihood that other developers have tackled similar projects or have developed plugins (in my case, for extjs) that can aid in achieving your objectives more efficiently and effectively.
Wishing you success in your coding endeavors!
In late 2007, I completed a project that bears some resemblance to this one. It was a Ruby on Rails project and I am happy to share the source code with you.
This project utilized Ruby, Rails, and JQuery
