Microsoft's implementation of AJAX using Visual Studio.NET 2005 is rapidly becoming an integral part of ASP.NETdevelopment.

AJAX - or Asynchronous JavaScript language and XML - is a technique for developing rich interactive web applications using a combination of:

• XHTML (or HTML) and CSS for presenting information
• The Document Object Model manipulated through JavaScript to dynamically display and interact with the information presented
• XML's HttpRequest object to exchange data asynchronously with the web server

This five day course has been developed for real-world, commercial scenarios by our expert instructors.

Audience

Web Developers who want to create richer web applications using the .NET framework.

Prerequisites

Background in development with a .NET language (e.g. C#)
