APR306: Building AJAX Applications with ASP.NET 3.5 (9:00AM - 4:00PM)
Dino Esposito
Each AJAX application, regardless of the underlying platform, has a common 2-tier architecture where a front-end and a (multi-tiered) back-end talk by exchanging JSON packets over HTTP. In ASP.NET 3.5, the first version of ASP.NET to incorporate AJAX natively, you have two options for building applications—-partial rendering and script services. Partial rendering doesn’t give you any architectural shift but is quick to apply and learn. If you opt for services, then you need JavaScript and DOM to build up a nice interface for the user. This means, however, a lot of client coding in an interpreted environment and subject to bugs and memory leaks of some browsers. In this workshop, we’ll first carefully review the technical details of partial rendering and script services and then put everything into perspective by going through a series of realistic scenarios and architectural considerations. 

A lot of code to see and dissect. We'll be using VS 2008, but everything being discussed really applies also to ASP.NET 2.0 with AJAX Extensions applied.
