Since the emergence of Google Maps 12 months ago, Ajax programming techniques
have become one of the hottest topics in the programming arena. To date, the
frameworks available for creating these applications have been complex and have
separated the development of the client-side Ajax (on the user’s machine)
from the server-side supporting technology (on the company’s machines).
This separation has made development slow and difficult.
ASP.NET AJAX is Microsoft’s solution to this problem. ASP.NET AJAX (formerly
code-named “Atlas”) is a set of extensions to the existing ASP.NET
2.0 technology that provides you with a fast-and-simple environment to create
Ajax applications. Microsoft has combined Ajax with ASP.NET technology and provided
a unified set of development tools within Visual Studio 2005. For the first
time, Ajax applications can be developed seamlessly in conjunction with a supporting
technology.
Foundations of ASP.NET AJAX (written by Laurence Moroney the author
of Apress’ successful Foundations of Atlas) gives you a detailed grounding
in how ASP.NET AJAX works. It takes you swiftly through the basic principles
of Ajax, then deep into the heart of the technology, where every namespace is
discussed and every function considered. By the end of the book, you’ll
know all the essentials to confidently produce cutting-edge ASP.NET AJAX applications
swiftly and professionally. You will not need any reference beyond this book.
