SGDN May 2007 #36 UG Meeting

Venue
Level 22, BR-01

Synopsis
Web applications are becoming increasing more popular because they offer many advantages over traditional software like centralized data, easily updatable, information accessible anywhere in the world, and many more. But the web was not created with application capabilities in mind. There are many problems associated with creating feature-rich web applications to replace traditional desktop applications.

This session discusses some of the common problems associated with web applications and tries to solve it with the new Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX. It will also show how to convert a JavaScript web feature from your existing web application into a reusable ASP.NET AJAX Extension with the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit.
