Visual Studio Unleashed

I wanted to post a sample chapter from my book covering the MCTS Exam, 70-562: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5—ASP.NET Application Development. You can download chapter 6, “Working with ASP.NET AJAX and Client-Side Scripting” using the link at the end of this post.

I wrote this chapter to help readers better understand the AJAX-related features that are now built into the .NET framework. This includes the AJAX extension controls such as partial-page update (UpdatePanel), progress indicator (UpdateProgress), and the timer control (Timer).

In lesson 2, I wanted to cover some Javascript basics and walk through the new Microsoft AJAX Library. This library is a wrapper that speeds your Javascript development by providing support for strong types, debugging, and more.

I hope you enjoy the sample chapter. Please feel free to send me feedback!
