Bill Robertson - AJAX/Javascript

Session Summary

For our August, 2008 meeting, we were psyched to welcome back Bill Robertson who presented a code-heavy session about JavaScript, ASP.NET AJAX, and integration with .net!

Javascript…the language of "I hope this works". This session was a deep dive into javascript patterns and techniques. We covered the a variation of the MS Ajax object pattern with real world examples including inheritance. We saw alternatives to the horribly slow UpdatePanel, and tips for debugging javascript applications. The goal of this session was for you to become the guy people wander the halls at work seeking to ask the "how do I do this" questions.
