Here are some freely available and recommended weekend reading from selected and well reviewed Apress books that combine the use of XML, Ajax, and Java…

First, this JavaWorld.com article excerpts Chapter 11, Converting XML to Spreadsheet, and Vice Versa from Pro XML Development with Java Technology by Ajay Vohra and Deepak Vohra.

Second, this week, Practical Ajax Projects with Java Technology by Frank Zammetti was slashdotted. To get an idea what’s in this book for yourself, check out this excerpt from Ch. 08: The Organizer: Get Yourself Organized Now!

And finally, check out this book that goes with the previous one, Pro Ajax and Java Frameworks. If you’re a Java developer new to Ajax, check out this excerpt that’s freely available as well.
