Recently i attended a session on ASP.NET AJAX. ASP.NET AJAX adds to the power of ASP.NET. Though ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 was available as a separate add-on for ASP.NET 2.0, it has been integrated into ASP.NET in the release of ASP.NET 3.5.
AJAX is a very impressive approach for using a number of existing technologies together. It combines the power of HTML/XHTML, CSS, Javascript, DOM, XML, XSLT and XMLHttpRequest object. This helps in delivering web pages with sophisticated, responsive user interfaces and more efficient without reloading the entire browser page. This also helps makes the application and more responsive to user actions.
Regarding the ASP.NET AJAX session, this was really helpful session. I got to learn about the various controls provided by ASP.NET AJAX. Microsoft developers has put in commendable effort to provide with all the controls which can be used very easily. The usual Visual Studio feature "Drag and Drop" still holds for this new AJAX extension also. Moreover there is very little coding to be done. So looking forward to learning it in more details. I'll put in more details about the Ajax controls in the next post.

3 engineers travel on a desert road in a good old '76 VW Beetle. One is a mechanical engineer, the second one is an electric engineer and the last one is a computer engineer.
The VW Beetle starts making weird engine noises and stops. Then, the mechanical engineer goes back, looks at it for a couple hours and gives his veredict:
"This thing needs a complete overhaul of all friction components, plus the warpage limits of the engine heads are beyond specifications..."
The electrical engineer takes over and starts staring at the engine...after three hours he gives out his veredict:
"This thing isn't working because the voltage present on the battery is not enough, and the electromagnetic effect of the generator is too low for the car to run correctly..."
The computer engineer stares at the engine bay for 6 hours, looking under the mass of cables, hoses, until he stands up and tells his companions:
"We are doomed. I can't find the reset button on this thing!!!"
