| Delivering rich, Web 2.0-style experiences has never been
easier. This book gives you a complete hands-on introduction
to Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX 1.0, the new framework that offers
many of the same benefits for Ajax development that ASP.NET
provides for server-side development. With Programming
ASP.NET AJAX, you'll learn how to create professional,
dynamic web pages with Ajax in no time.
Loaded with code and examples that demonstrate key aspects
of the framework, this book is ideal not only for ASP.NET
developers who want to take their applications a step
further with Ajax, but for any web developers interested in
ASP.NET AJAX, no matter what technology they use currently.
That includes JavaScript programmers who would like to avoid
the headaches of writing cross-browser code.
Programming ASP.NET AJAX offers you:
A high-level overview of the ASP.NET AJAX framework
Functional code that you can cut and paste for use in your
own applications
The essentials of JavaScript and Ajax to help you understand
individual technologies used by the framework
An organization that reflects the framework's packages,
including Extensions, Control Toolkit, the Futures CTP, and
the AJAX Library
Sidebars throughout the book that identify and propose
solutions to potential security breaches
Ways to use the standards-based AJAX Library with other
platforms, such as PHP
A complete chapter on the UpdatePanel control for making
individual parts of a web page independently updateable --
one of the framework's most important elements
Released previously as Programming Atlas to cover the beta
version of the Microsoft framework, this edition is fully
up-to-date and expanded for the official 1.0 release of
ASP.NET AJAX. Written by Christian Wenz -- Microsoft MVP for
ASP/ASP.NET and AJAX Control Toolkit Contributor --
Programming ASP.NET AJAX contains many hard-to-find details,
along with a few unofficial ways to accomplish things.
