I’m flying to San Jose tonight for tomorrow’s OpenAjax Alliance face to face meeting , which Microsoft is hosting. On Friday, we are also hosting a new event that aims at establishing a dialogue between JavaScript library developers and Microsoft. We’ll have talks from the IE, Visual Studio and ASP.NET teams, as well as talks from members of the community. This should be very interesting. Then I’ll be flying to L.A. for the PDC . If you’re going to be there and want to chat, feel free to drop me a note at bleroy at Microsoft. I’ll be in the room during Stephen Walthers ’ session on jQuery and ASP.NET on Tuesday from 5:15 to 6:30 (403AB). I’ll also do a short demo in Scott Hunter ’s talk on the ASP.NET 4.0 Roadmap on Monday from 1:45 to 3:00...
We had an interesting conversation with the good people from the Alt.NET podcast on jQuery and what it means for .NET developers. Check it out: http://altnetpodcast.com/episodes/11-jquery-in-asp.net Read More...
You may have read that from John Resig or Scott Guthrie . I’m very excited to announce that Microsoft has decided to ship, adopt and support using jQuery on top of ASP.NET. This may come as a surprise to some of you but I hope you’ll agree with me that it makes total sense. jQuery is a fantastic JavaScript library that focuses on DOM querying and manipulation, whereas the Microsoft Ajax Library focuses on building reusable components and interacting with ASP.NET web services. A lot has been written already on this new partnership so I’ll just go ahead and show some code that hopefully will show how great jQuery and ASP.NET AJAX work together. As my first piece of code using both frameworks, I’ve built a very simple plug-in for jQuery that instantiates...
Following the more open-sourcey informal study that was recently advertised on Ajaxian , Simone Chiaretta publishes and analyses the results of his own study that he recently made and that is aimed exclusively at .NET developers. While Richard Monson-Haefel's study is being made for the third consecutive year, which makes for some interesting trend information, Simone's analysis is more directly interesting to us. The differences between the results of both studies for .NET developers also goes a long way showing how such data crucially depends on who you're asking. Case in point, it's pretty clear that the intersection of Ajaxian readers and .NET developers is much more open-source-oriented ( not that there's anything wrong with that ) than...
Thanks to all members who voted. I'm looking forward to working with the other members. http://www.openajax.org/blogs/?p=41 Read More...
Yesterday I got to write our entry in OpenAjax's InteropFest . The goal of this event is to demonstrate how different Ajax libraries can be parts of the OpenAjax ecosystem and interact with each other through the OpenAjax hub . The currently central feature of the hub is to expose a publish/subscribe message bus so that both producers and consumers of events can speak through a third party that is neutral to specific Ajax implementations. The OpenAjax Alliance provides a template for demo applications that shows a live data source feeding fake stock quotes through the hub to a visual component that then renders them. I've chosen to modify the live data source to be a Microsoft Ajax-style component. The visual component would not have been as...
We've been blogging about Windows Communication Foundation, Windows Presentation Foundation and Windows Workflow Foundation ever since this blog started, a little over a year ago. I'm happy to report that, these three technologies, which, along with Windows Cardspace, form the core of the .Net Framework 3.0, have officially been released. To download them for Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, click here . -David Technorati tags: Microsoft , .Net , WPF , WCF , WF Read More...
I'm not sure how many of our regular Public Sector readers use PHP at work. Around here, we, obviously, prefer .Net :) If you are using PHP, however, you might be interested in the following announcement . Basically, this is a technical partnership between Zend & Microsoft to improve the performance of PHP on Windows. We'd like for all developers to have the option to run on Windows, even those who don't choose to use .Net. Since most PHP developers develop their applications using Windows, it is important that Windows be a first class platform for running the applications as well. Also, since we are on the subject of PHP, it is probably a good time to point out that the Microsoft Ajax Library , which is written in client side javascript...
Edward Jezierski just announced it here . "The Web Client Software Factory is a guidance offering currently under development that will provide comprehensive architecture guidance to help customers build web solutions using the Microsoft platform (ASP.NET, ASP.NET AJAX, Workflow Foundation, etc)." This is the fourth Software Factory the patterns & practices folks have released. I've been looking forward to this one. The others are: Smart Client Software Factory Mobile Client Software Factory Web Service Software Factory -Marc tags: Microsoft , .NET , ASP.NET , Atlas , AJAX , WinFX , .NET Framework 3.0 , Windows Workflow Foundation , WF Read More...
