ASP.NET AJAX Using C#

    

Summary:
This course provides a practical introduction to developing rich Internet applications using ASP.NET AJAX and C#. It is current to ASP.NET 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008. The course begins with a discussion of rich Internet applications, which include substantial client-side code, typically JavaScript. Microsoft’s AJAX tools are surveyed, and a simple AJAX application is illustrated. The JavaScript programming language is covered in enough detail to give the student a good working knowledge of writing client scripts. To retrieve and update information on a Web page from client-side code, the programmer needs to use DHTML or the Document Object Model (DOM). The AJAX Client Library is discussed, which simplifies client-side programming with JavaScript extensions, a debugging trace facility, and various API shortcuts. This course covers partial page rendering. Also discussed are various techniques for making remote-method calls, resulting in greater efficiency in an AJAX application. The AJAX Control Toolkit is also introduced, which provides many very useful controls enabling sophisticated client-side effects with relatively little programming.
