IE8: Must have software for AJAX Developers

Developers can download IE8 here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/ie/ie8/getitnow.mspx It's available for Vista and Server in 64bit mode (as well as 32bit modes for XP, etc… suckers!)… that's good news for me! The coolest new feature is debugger support for JavaScript—this totally blows away Firebug. Here are some additional links that I fished up.

Writing a book: Service Based Enterprise AJAX on the Microsoft Platform

It's official!!! I'm starting a new book project-- Service-Based Enterprise AJAX on the Microsoft Platform. (That's the working title-- not sure on what we'll print on the cover!) I'm writing for Microsoft Press again, and compiling several years of real world enterprise experience building service based AJAX applications. I know there's a LOT of AJAX books out there-- but there's not many great architectural focused AJAX books based on the Microsoft platform.

.NET 3.5 and the AJAX Backend

If you're writing services for AJAX clients, you really need to check out the new features of .NET 3.5.

Más vale tarde que nunca, Ajax a la palestra

Aunque la tecnología Ajax ya lleva mucho tiempo activa en el mundo web, yo personalmente no me había pegado mucho con ella para sacarle algo de jugo. Hasta ahora me la habían presentado y poco más, mi relación con ella no había sido mucho más allá que alguna prueba práctica. Tampoco quiere decir que ahora ya esté en la pomada de Ajax, pero he hecho mis primeros pinitos de los que estoy orgulloso. Y es lo que tienes Ajax (y todas las librerías...( read more ) Del.icio.us | Digg It | Technorati | Blinklist | Furl | reddit | DotNetKicks

MOSS 2007: Creating a custom AJAX UserControl that will query the SharePoint Search Query Object Model to perform searches

Author: Tobias Zimmergren Url: http://www.sharepointblogs.com/zimmer If you've read my last two blogposts you already know how to configure ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX for your SharePoint Server and how do deploy a UserControl that uses AJAX functionality on you SharePoint Server. You can find my previous articles here: MOSS 2007- Add support for AJAX in your SharePoint installation MOSS 2007 - Using AJAX UserControls in SharePoint This blogpost shows a simple implementation of a UserControl that uses the Object Model to query the search service using a keyword and then using an UpdatePanel in AJAX to present the result to the user without any page reloads. Let's create an AJAX based UserControl which purpose will be to search using the Search Query Object Model Copy the nessecary assemblies to your local bin folder (I'm deploying locally to the WebApplication on port 80) To make this work (in this case, since I'm deploying to the UserControls folder with inline code, not calling any own assemblies) you need to copy the two .dll files to your /bin folder of the WebApplication where you want to deploy this UserControl. Copy C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\ISAPI\Microsoft.Office.Server.dll Copy C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\ISAPI\Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.dll Paste the two files to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\bin\ (Note: It can be any other port other than 80 if you're...

Recommended Reference: ASP.NET AJAX

Recommended reference: ASP.NET AJAX Programmer's Reference, by Dr. Shahram Khosravi . This book is an excellent reference for the client-side AJAX developer using Microsoft's AJAX library. I picked this up as a reference, it's very in depth on the JavaScript extensions and class library, with about a third of the book dedicated to server-side AJAX. The only drawback is its size... it's over 1500 pages long, making it a heavy book to pack in your case.

MOSS 2007: Add support for AJAX in your SharePoint installation

Author: Tobias Zimmergren Url: http://www.sharepointblogs.com/zimmer In this very short and straight-on post I'll just mention how you can configure your SharePoint installation to enable support for ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 since a lot of people have been asking me about it. Before we make any changes in the web.config we need the following: A backup of the web.config file (important, because if something goes wrong you might need to revert to the old one) SharePoint (WSS 3.0 or MOSS 2007) ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX 1.0 Extensions Be in the mood for some copy/pasting the following 5 minutes Copy/Paste time Locate your default web.config file (usually here: " C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\web.config "). Edit the webc.config file according to this scenario: Locate the <configSection> element and add the following code inside it: <sectionGroup name="system.web.extensions" type="System.Web.Configuration.SystemWebExtensionsSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"> <sectionGroup name="scripting" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"> <section name="scriptResourceHandler" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingScriptResourceHandlerSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"...

AJAX Book

If I were to write a book on AJAX development, using the technique used in the SharePoint AJAX Toolkit and from the AJAX chapter in Inside WSS, what would your level of interest be? It would be based on hardcore AJAX programming primarily on the client, using Xml data loads from server endpoints, and heavy on client side script. Just something I'm thinking about... although I'm not sure I have time to do so. So I'm floating this out for comments... Mirrored on SharePoint Blogs Posted...( read more ) Del.icio.us | Digg It | Technorati | Blinklist | Furl | reddit | DotNetKicks

APTANA: An IDE that you cannot do without

If you are an AJAX developer, you are writing JavaScript. If you're writing JavaScript, you really need Aptana. It's a JavaScript IDE that parser your javascript and can tell you syntax errors, which is really handy when the ASP.NET AJAX runtime refuses to load your script because you have an extra common, missing semicolon, or whatever. It's a standard tool for our dev team. We use it in conjunction with Visual Studio, hopefully VS 2008 will be better for AJAX. Regardless, get it here...( read more ) Del.icio.us | Digg It | Technorati | Blinklist | Furl | reddit | DotNetKicks

AjaxWindows! - A demonstration of what AJAX can do.

I stumbled across a very cool demonstration of the future of web applications. It's called ajaxWindows , and is a windows clone that you use in your browser.
