Seminarbeschreibung

Gone are the days when a Web application could be architected and implemented as a plain collection of related and linked pages. The advent of the so-called AJAX lifestyle is radically modifying the user’s perception of a Web application and it is subsequently forcing developers to apply newer and richer models to build applications.
AJAX stands for “Asynchronous Javascript and XML,” and it’s a sort of blanket term for highly interactive and responsive Web applications that do a lot of work on the client and place out-of-band calls to the server. The net effect is that an AJAX Web application tends to look like a classic desktop Windows application with advanced features such as drag-and-drop, asynchronous tasks, a strongly responsive and nonflickering user interface, and zero user frustration.
ASP.NET AJAX is a real breakthrough for ASP.NET developers and professionals. It makes cross-browser programming a reality and enables desktop-like functionalities over the Web. This demo-laden class provides an overview of the framework with numerous examples to familiarize you with a variety of techniques and tools.
