Product Description

Ajax has revolutionized the way users interact with web pages today. Gone are frustrating page refreshes, lost scroll positions and intermittent interaction with a web site. Instead, we have a new generation of fast, rich, and more intuitive web applications. The ASP.NET AJAX framework puts the power of Ajax into the hands of web developers. ASP.NET AJAX, formerly called Atlas, is a new free framework from Microsoft designed to easily add Ajax features to ASP.NET applications. With this technology, ASP.NET developers can easily build more interactive and highly-personalized web applications that work across all most popular browsers.

ASP.NET AJAX in Action is a fast-paced, example-rich tutorial designed for ASP.NET web developers and written by ASP.NET AJAX experts Alessandro "Garbin" Gallo, David Barkol, and Rama Krishna Vavilala. This book introduces you to Ajax applications and to the ASP.NET AJAX technology. Beginners will appreciate the clear explanations of key ideas and terminology. Intermediate and advanced ASP.NET developers will find a no-nonsense learning source and well-organized reference.

ASP.NET AJAX in Action offers a rich set of examples and meticulous explanations. The extensive code samples are accompanied by accurate and rigorous explanations of the concepts behind development with ASP.NET AJAX. In this book, you will discover how to use

Microsoft Ajax Library

Partial rendering with UpdatePanels

Advanced client and server techniques

Ajax Control Toolkit

If you are a web developer looking to bring your web pages to life and to enhance the user experience, this book is for you.

ASP.NET AJAX in Action will give you with the knowledge and tools you need to more easily craft the next generation of Ajax applications. With the help of the Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX framework, Ajax development has never been easier and more instinctive for both client-script developers and ASP.NET developers alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to ASP.NET AJAX, 28 Aug 2007

By	Granville Barnett - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book hits all the major bases, from the new ASP.NET server controls that expose AJAX functionality like the UpdatePanel, through to the MS AJAX Library.

One of the great things about this book is that it not only covers the basics, e.g. how to implement OO methodologies using the MS AJAX Library, but it also covers some fairly advanced "under the covers" topics like the purpose of PageRequestManager and how that plays with the framework - to date this is the only book I have read on the ASP.NET AJAX framework (aka ATLAS) that has covered this.

Another great point about this book is that it offers a chapter on custom control development with the AJAX Control Toolkit. If you are a custom control developer that wants to take advantage of AJAX then this chapter will give you good guidance on how to do that.

I gave this book 5 stars, as the coverage of the ASP.NET AJAX framework is great and the clarity of the writers examples and explanations is spot on.

A must buy for any ASP.NET developer wanting to utilize ASP.NET AJAX to create richer web applications and sites.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not enough detail, and already out of date, 15 Feb 2008

By	G. Hinton (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been using what's been coined as "AJAX" technologies since 2002, and started using the AJAX.Net extensions last year, progressing to the toolkit back in November.

I bought this book based on a review by Scott Guthrie singing its praises, as I wanted to extend some of the existing pieces of the toolkit, but I'm saddened to say I was tremendously disappointed.

I feel that there is a lack of depth on a lot of the server-side subjects, with the authors concentrating too much on how to perform tasks client-side, when in about 75% of the situations given, any experienced client-side developer would use traditional JavaScript which would far outperform the weightier built-in extension or toolkit methods.

I was also really unhappy when I found that, after putting all the code into a project I was working on, the whole chapter on drag and drop at the end of the book was completely useless as it doesn't work with the latest release of the extensions framework.

All in all, I don't think this book was correctly targeted, and unless you're a beginner in ASP.Net and AJAX I wouldn't bother buying it and would suggest you opt for a WROX alternative. Sorry Alessandro...
