Simplest thing of learning something, is doing something.

First of all, you need to understand the fundametals.. what is AJAX, what was before AJAX and what exact issues does it solve.

After you might consider to learn jQuery AJAX API (http://api.jquery.com/category/ajax/) for client side and PHP (or any other language, that is easy to start) as server. And do some small tasks - as one of AJAX kata, it could be implementation of 'Google word suggest'.

Given you have some web development experience, I suggest the following book - it is really excellent in my opinion:
