Product Description

Get an expert introduction to the new JavaScript enhancements (code-named "Atlas") for Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0. More than a basic AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript And XML) script library, the Microsoft implementation brings object orientation to JavaScript, together with enhanced client-side and server-side controls that greatly simplify coding while delivering enhanced Web experiences with any browser. Scheduled for release with the next version of Microsoft Visual Studio®, code named "Orcas," AJAX extensions and tools can be used by developers today. This book offers expert insights direct from the Microsoft product team and noted ASP authority Dino Esposito, as well as hands-on instruction and examples of Web development with AJAX. This ideal reference will be updated online, keeping readers up to date with the evolving tool. The book includes code samples in ASP.NET 2.0 created using C# and JavaScript.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Introduction to ASP.NET AJAX, May 29, 2007
By Scott Guthrie (Redmond, WA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Introducing Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX (Pro - Developer) (Paperback)
Dino has written some of the best ASP.NET books in the past, and has delivered another good one with this introductory ASP.NET AJAX book.

"Introducing ASP.NET AJAX" provides a nice introduction to ASP.NET AJAX 1.0. The book is written against the final ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 release, and so is current with the final APIs that was shipped.

The book covers both the server side libraries of ASP.NET AJAX (updatepanel, updateprogress, etc) as well as provides an introductory look at the client-side Javascript libraries. The book also provides a chapter that covers the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit controls.

The book itself isn't very long (300 pages), and can be read quickly. It also has a good index at the back.

If you are getting started with ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 and are looking for a nice book that will give you a good sense of the breadth ASP.NET AJAX offers, as well as how to start taking advantage of it, this book is a good place to start.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb book, extremely well written., May 30, 2007
This review is from: Introducing Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX (Pro - Developer) (Paperback)
This is a very good introduction to Asp.net Ajax.

In the first chapter itself the author shows you how to implement a rudimentary homegrown Ajax framework that helps explain what happens under the hood.

Part 2 of the book is focussed on explaining partial page rendering, and the author also takes you on a quick tour of control extenders (control extenders essentially allow existing server side controls to express Ajax behavior). The "Pulsating heart of Asp.net Ajax" explains the plumbing that helps build the Asp.net Ajax framework.

Part 3 of the book is devoted to remote method calls to web services and page methods, and also speaks about implementing client side authentication services.

This book is a true gem, buy it ...

4.0 out of 5 stars Much needed description of ASP.NET Ajax, July 8, 2007
This review is from: Introducing Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX (Pro - Developer) (Paperback)
A very good description of how to write good ASP.NET Ajax code, following Microsofts intentions with the framework. Each of the three books I have read, the other two are Professional ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX (Programmer to Programmer) and ASP.NET AJAX in Action, are missing small parts but together the are really good, a 5 star collection.
