ASP.NET AJAX server controls can encapsulate even the most powerful AJAX functionality,
helping you build more elegant, maintainable, and scalable applications. This
is the first comprehensive, code-rich guide to custom ASP.NET AJAX server controls
for experienced ASP.NET developers. Unlike other books on ASP.NET AJAX, this
book focuses solely on server control development and reflects the significant
improvements in ASP.NET 3.5 AJAX and the latest Visual Studio 2008 features
for streamlining AJAX development
Adam Calderon and Joel Rumerman first review the core Microsoft AJAX Library
and JavaScript techniques needed to support a rich client-side experience. Next,
they build upon these techniques showing how to create distributable AJAX-enabled
controls that include rich browser-independent JavaScript client-side functionality.
The authors thoroughly explain both the JavaScript and .NET aspects of control
development and how these two distinct environments come together to provide
a foundation for building a rich user experience using ASP.NET AJAX.
