AJAX, or Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, is an important new technology, part of what is sometimes called Web 2.0. It is a standards-based approach to building rich Internet applications that offer a highly interactive user interface experience. ASP.NET AJAX is a free framework from Microsoft that is built into ASP.NET 3.5 and later versions, and is available as a separate download for ASP.NET 2.0.

This course introduces AJAX and covers foundational topics, such as JavaScript, DTHML, the Document Object Model (DOM) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). The course then covers in depth the various components of Microsoft's AJAX support, including ASP.NET AJAX Extensions, the AJAX Client Library, and the AJAX Control Toolkit.

By the end of the class students will be able to:

  • Gain a thorough understanding of the philosophy and implementation of rich Internet applications
  • Use JavaScript and DHTML/CSS/DOM to add interactivity to Web applications
  • Explain the benefits of AJAX in creating non-blocking and interactive Web applications
  • Use ASP.NET AJAX and Visual Studio to easily implement AJAX applications
  • Create visually rich and attractive Web applications with controls in the AJAX Control Toolkit
  • Prerequisites:
    Prior programming experience in at least one object-oriented language such as a .NET language (e.g., C#, VB.NET), Java, or C++. Prior experience developing Web-based applications, preferably using .NET.
