AJAX Architectures Condensed

One thing is using AJAX to dynamically refresh a small piece of a single page; all another thing is designing a whole presentation layer to be partially refreshed in every possible operation against the server. An individual feature can be happily and nicely coded using a smart piece of JavaScript; a whole Web presentation layer will cost you a lot more if done entirely in JavaScript. And from scratch.

Sure, new productivity tools are created every day (from the popular jQuery library to the upcoming ASP.NET AJAX 4.0 framework), but the most effective way of adding AJAX to applications continues to be the subject of research and begins to look like the Holy Grail of Web software.

I just published an article on DotNetSlackers, that summarizes the options you have when it comes to AJAX architectures. It is an excerpt from Chapter 3 of my latest Web architecture book mentioned in this recent post of mine.

Something wrong with that link:

---

weblogs.asp.net/.../www.dotnetslackers.com

---

opens:

404 - File or directory not found.

The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Sir i want to ask a question that though application of AJAX refreshes the page but still we didn't get any back option.Can we make it possible of we want to have back button activated after the application of AJAX. if this could be possible many websites can be built with less number of Pages
