Microsoft ASP.NET and AJAX: Architecting Web Applications

Microsoft ASP.NET and AJAX: Architecting Web Applications

Book Description

This book is the Web counterpart to another recently released book I co-authored with Andrea Saltarello: Microsoft .NET: Architecting Applications for the Enterprise (Microsoft Press, 2008). I wrote it, in part, in response to the many architectural questions—both small questions and big ones—that I was asked repeatedly while teaching ASP.NET, AJAX, and Silverlight classes.

Everybody in the industry is committed to AJAX. Everybody understands the impact of it. Everybody recognizes the enormous power that can be derived from its employment in real-world solutions.

Very few, though, know exactly how to make it happen. There are so many variations to AJAX and so many implementations that even after you have found one that suits your needs, you are left wondering whether that is the best possible option.

The fact is that AJAX triggered a chain reaction in the world of the Web. AJAX represents a change of paradigm for Web applications. And, as Read More ...

Professional DotNetNuke Module Programming

Professional DotNetNuke Module Programming

Book Description

This book was written to provide insight into the development techniques needed (and the options available) to work within the DotNetNuke framework. Emphasis is placed on the available methods to extend the framework, as well as the situations and rules governing when each respective extension model should be used. Along with this emphasis on selecting the right extension method, the book stresses the importance of leveraging the framework in as many areas as possible, and ultimately using the framework to the advantage of the developer, rather than merely working with it.

One current weakness of the DotNetNuke framework is developer documentation. The framework provides developers with numerous amazing methods to extend the framework and build truly robust applications, but as of this writing, minimal API documentation exists, and overall development topics are scattered all over the Internet. Many community members have helped to supplement this lack of developer content by writing Read More ...
