"Doloto reduces the size of initial application code download by hundreds of kilobytes or as much as 50% of the original download size. The time to download and begin interacting with large applications is reduced by 20-40% or dozens of seconds as shown below, depending on the application and wide-area network conditions." http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/devlabs/ee423534.aspx Rock with it! - Keith Read More...
A couple of years ago Simone Chiaretta did a survey of .NET Developers usage of Ajax .. I just saw that he is refreshing that survey to see what has changed in the industry. Are people still actively moving to Ajax? Are they using MVC or WebForms with their Ajax? Which ones of the *many* ajax frameworks out there are they using? Feel free to write-in Silverlight if that is your current preference for this style of application. Very interesting data… and while clearly not a scientific survey, it is an interesting data point as Simone has agreed to publish all the data he gets. Here is what he has so far . So please take a few minutes and fill out the survey and pass it on to your colleagues...
NOTE: This was cross posted from here . I’ve been using jQuery quite a bit lately. I’ve grown very fond of it. At the same time, I have been digging into ASP.NET AJAX 4.0. I just read a post from Bertand Le Roy that made me smile. In his post, he shows how you can do the following: < ul class ="dv" > < li > {{ $dataItem }} </ li > </ ul > < script type ="text/javascript" > 1: $( ".dv" ).dataView({ data: [ "foo" , "bar" , "baz" ] }); </ script > To me, being able to instantiate a DataView control using the jQuery plugin syntax is PRETTY COOL! Check out the details of how all this works and download the sample at: http...
NOTE: This was cross posted from here . I decided not to publish the last Developer Dinner in favor of pointing you to newer sessions last weeks MIX 09 conference. These sessions basically cover everything I covered at the dinner and more. Microsoft ASP.NET 4.0 : What's Next? Choosing between ASP.NET Web Forms and MVC Microsoft ASP.NET: Taking AJAX to the Next Level There are some other great sessions on ASP.NET & MVC as well. You can check out all the ASP.NET content by going to https://content.visitmix.com/2009/sessions/default.aspx and selecting the ASP.NET tag on the left hand side just under the session/agenda selection tool. REMINDER: The follow up post for this developer is at: http://tinyurl.com/aspnet4devdinner Read...
Yesterday at Mix we announced .NET RIA Services… We are very early in the development cycle for .NET RIA Services and we are eager to get your feedback and thoughts. The marketing blurb catches the key points: Microsoft .NET RIA Services simplifies the traditional n-tier application pattern by bringing together the ASP.NET and Silverlight platforms. The RIA Services provides a pattern to write application logic that runs on the mid-tier and controls access to data for queries, changes and custom operations. It also provides end-to-end support for common tasks such as data validation, authentication and roles by integrating with Silverlight components on the client and ASP.NET on the mid-tier. (shamelessly stolen from...
Thanks to everyone who attended! You can find the deck and demo code here: Slide 40 of the deck has links to get the demo code. Once the next preview release of ASP.NET 4.0 AJAX is published, I will blog about where you can get the samples I demonstrated (DataView / Client Templates). I will try to get the recording of the developer dinner published within the next week. - Marc Read More...
From SlashDot... "It has been going on nine years now, but finally there are formal standards for Web accessibility for technologies other than HTML . They ask that you start with the press release (lots of links), but regulars might be more entertained by the last time WCAG made the front page here. Many folks here will point out that web accessibility is old hat, and by implication this is hardly news, but if you do Web development for any government organization, you should expect that accessibility is a base requirement. The Section 508 standards are to be updated (relatively) soon too." This is great news for government developers! Being finalized, this specification incorporates accessibility guidance for Web 2.0 technologies...
With the .NET Framework 3.5 (the version native to Visual Studio 2008) coming up on its first anniversary, Microsoft is poised to release the first update to the framework in the form of Service Pack (SP1). This Service Pack is unlike your standard Service Pack, in that it will introduce new features/capabilities to the .NET Framework . Some of these features where originally planned to be in the initial release of the framework and others are features/capabilities added to enhance or further secure the core .NET Framework. The August Developer Dinner is going to focus on some of the new features as well as a few of the new enhancements, to give you an introduction of the improved capabilities of the Microsoft Developer Platform...
Part of the survey result was overwhelming feedback about hands on experiences during our dev events. I know that trying to do these at work is nearly impossible because of all the other work priorities and interruptions, but with the Virtual labs you can do them from anywhere - a coffee shop with wireless is ideal. List of labs Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 Virtual Labs Virtual Labs - Visual Studio 2008 SharePoint Server Virtual Labs Check the rest of the categories on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtuallabs/default.aspx Enjoy it!

I had a great time today at AjaxWorld during my talk on building a great Ajax Application from Scratch. It was fun to get out from behind the powerpoint and show some real code! For this demo, I only used freely available tools... In particular everything I show works in Visual Studio 2008 Web Developer Express . Peter Galli posts on Microsoft's general presence at AjaxWorld . The folks at sys-con already posted a quick story on my talk: Presented A No-Slides, Code Only Session at AJAXWorld Download the complete samples . Part I: CSS and HTML Designer First, I showed off what a great CSS and HTML designer Visual Studio 2008 is. For this part of the demo I didn't...
