Miljan over at ComponentArt wrote his first post explaining how their migration to Beta 1 went (i.e. great, the whole thing was done in four days). He has some very nice things to say about the platform, which we're all very flattered about: "After getting over the initial hump, we found ASP...

I'll be in Las Vegas next week for ASP Connections with some other people from the AJAX team. If you're going too, stop by and say hi. We're going to talk about some new exciting features, in particular some great localization and globalization stuff.

I'm very proud to announce that ASP.NET Ajax 1.0 shipped this morning. This is the result of all the work we've done since the first CTP and of all the very valuable feedback from our early adopters. I can't stress this enough: this product is probably one of the Microsoft products that incorporated...

This is an absolutely awesome feature. IntelliSense / autocompletion for JavaScript is a difficult problem (because of the dynamic nature of JavaScript) which the Visual Studio team is brilliantly solving.

It was my great pleasure to be at the face to face OpenAjax Alliance meetings for the first time last month. Thanks to the nice people at IBM for hosting them. I really enjoyed the discussions with Alex from Dojo , Gideon from OpenSpot and many others. There were also great demos of OpenAjax-based interoperability...

The latest episode of the .NET show is all about ASP.NET Ajax. Brad and Matt first have a really interesting discussion of the history and architecture of ASP.NET Ajax and then you can see me demo-ing UpdatePanel, extenders and localization. Most of the demos are extracted from the short book Matt and...

When building Ajax applications, you basically deal with two kinds of events. First, there are DOM events , and second, events from JavaScript objects. This second category is not part of the EcmaScript specs (or of the DOM specs, of course) so each framework needs to define its own pattern to expose...
