Reader Reviews
The ASP.NET Ajax library is more than UpdatePanel. UpdatePanel gets you up and running in Ajax quickly, but it is not true Ajax. Ajax is about re-emphasize client, empowering modern day browser to take up more work of user interaction. In one word, Ajax is about JavaScript. Microsoft's ASP.NET Ajax library, like any other mature Ajax libraries out there, provides a rich framework of client side JavaScript. And if you build on top it, you need to understand this layer to be able to fully leverage it. And this book provides much-needed help with understanding this library. Clearly author understands it and covers a lot of ground. MSDN is still catching up on this library, so if you are living on the cutting-edge of ASP.NET Ajax, get a copy of this book. A caution though: This book is not for beginner of JavaScript. You need to have fairly good understand of JavaScript as a language to fully appreciate the help this book provides.
