NET AJAX. It is well
understood that creating AJAX-based web applications can be complex and requires
extensive knowledge of client-side script, which is slow to develop and debug. Microsoft
has reinvented how AJAX applications can be developed by allowing web developers to
use the same familiar productivity features and IDE of Visual Studio 2005 that they use to
develop standard web applications.
CHAPTER 2 ?– TAKING AJAX TO THE NEXT LEVEL 23
Synchronous vs. Asynchronous Web Applications
One of the biggest limitations of web applications has always been that they are not
dynamic and responsive. For example, consider the case of implementing a simple financial
portal. When you change the company you want to inspect, several areas of the page
update to display the new company??™s information. Consider the scenario where the user
decides he wants to see more detailed information on the current company and clicks
the button to retrieve it. You want this new information to appear on the same page but
don??™t want to refresh the whole page to get it??”you just want it to appear.
