As I spend more time working on the client side, I’m more and more impressed with the jQuery JavaScript framework, and really glad that we’ve decided to ship it with future versions of Visual Studio (as well as with the soon-to-be-released ASP.NET MVC framework), since it will make client-side programming...

Given that I’ve been focusing a lot on diet and exercise in my personal life, as well as AJAX and JavaScript in my professional life, this post by Chris Love struck me as pretty timely: In my last post I waxed philosophically about the progression of ASP.NET . Today I want to start actually demonstrating...

I mentioned recently that we announced that we will be shipping the jQuery JavaScript library moving forward in Visual Studio and related products. Well the jQuery folks haven’t wasted any time making development of jQuery-enabled aps in Visual Studio 2008 even easier. Yesterday, they made available...

In today’s MSDN Roadshow in Roanoke, VA, I talked about a couple of the enhancements that have been added to ASP.NET AJAX in .NET 3.5 SP1, AJAX History, and Script Combining. Given time constraints, I did not have time to demo this functionality, but if you want to learn more about these features...

Somehow my original post with the resources for my AJAX talk last week at VSLive! disappeared, so here’s a re-post…here are the links to resources, tools, and tips mentioned in my talk, Controlling AJAX when you’re out of control, last week at VSLive! New York: List of JavaScript/AJAX Frameworks:...

Why do I have the Beastie Boys running through my head this morning? Oh yeah, it’s because I’ll be in Brooklyn, NY this week for VSLive! New York . I’m doing two sessions: Controlling AJAX when You’re Out of Control – Monday, September 8th, 1:45-3:00pm Geocoding, RSS, and Mapping, Oh My! – Wednesday...

I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be presenting at VSLive! New York in just over a month. I’ll be presenting on troubleshooting and managing AJAX and Javascript in applications where you may not have full control over the application . I may also have some additional announcements to make, so check back...

Just wanted to drop a quick post to let folks know that I'm in the process of tweaking my user group map scripts to make sure they work properly with Firefox 3. I think I've got it working, but still need to make sure I didn't break anything else, including Firefox 2. So if you see the occasional script...

Are you looking for a .NET or SQL Server User Group? I'm hoping to make your task a little easier by adding a handy user group map to my blog. If you go to the homepage of my blog , and look in the section entitled "My Stuff," you'll find a new widget containing a Virtual Earth map of the active .NET...

Marc Schweigert , one of my DE counterparts from the Public Sector team, has started a project to bring JavaScript Intellisense to the Virtual Earth map control . Awesome! I've used VE for things like the event mapping in Community Megaphone, and while it's pretty easy to use, adding Intellisense will...

So as I mentioned in my last post , I've been playing around a bit with Virtual Earth and client-side javascript, and being somewhat rusty in this area, ran into a few issues. One of the areas I initially had trouble with was wiring up my javascript functionality so it would run when the page loads....

I wrote last week about some of the fun I've been having with the Virtual Earth Map control , including some jokes about how much I love javascript. Well, much to my chagrin, one of the very helpful folks in the local developer community burst my bubble of pride over my accomplishments by pointing out...

Never in my life have I had so much fun with Javascript. OK, so perhaps that's a bit of an exaggeration. But I am having fun playing around with the v5 Virtual Earth map control , as well as the nifty Virtual Earth Interactive SDK , which makes it pretty easy to quickly figure out how to do a variety...
