Book Excerpt: Introduction to ASP.NET AJAX
Over the years, we developers have seen many changes in terms of how development
occurs. We have gone from terminal-based programming to PC-based programming to
Windows-based programming and to the Web. Now we are on the verge of another
programming revolution— one that will bring about more interactive user
interfaces to web applications. This programming revolution is brought to
developers courtesy of a set of technologies that are generally known as AJAX
(Asynchronous JavaScript And XML). No longer will users see the annoying flash
with the clicking of a button to submit data. No longer will users lose the
context of where they are located and be thrown back up to the top of a page.
With AJAX, developers can build applications that step out of the traditional
postback model of the Web, provide an improved user interface to users, and
allow developers to develop applications that are much friendlier to use.
