It's a great service and I was really impressed by the responsiveness of the application and the ease with which users could drag and zoom maps from a Web browser. It has in many ways heralded the arrival of AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML), which I am sure will revitalize Web development in the days to come. http://dotnet.sys-con.com/read/253435.htmhttp://dotnet.sys-con.com/read/253435.htm Tue, 01 Aug 2006 13:15:00 GMT Ever since the advent of the Internet, Web applications have lagged behind desktop applications in terms of interactivity and responsiveness. One of the biggest drawbacks in the conventional Web model has been the cycle of inactivity between the user request and the server response. Reducing this period of inactivity has been the point of focus for any developer who wants to improve the responsiveness of Web applications and raise the user experience to levels offered by desktop applications. http://dotnet.sys-con.com/read/47340.htmhttp://dotnet.sys-con.com/read/47340.htm Tue, 07 Dec 2004 00:00:00 GMT Since the advent of Web development, Web developers have sought a way to provide a consistent look and feel across the Web application. This pursuit has resulted in different custom solutions. With the introduction of master pages in ASP.NET 2.0, Microsoft has finally brought the support to the framework level and has given the developers what they have been asking for. http://dotnet.sys-con.com/read/46997.htmhttp://dotnet.sys-con.com/read/46997.htm Mon, 08 Nov 2004 00:00:00 GMT The introduction of ASP.NET in 2002 signified a big change in Microsoft server-side technologies for building Web sites. It represented a shift from the interpreted Active Server pages (ASP) to compiled ASP.NET pages. The compiled ASP.NET Web applications were much faster than the interpreted ASP applications and presented the developer with a variety of advantages, one of them being dynamic compilation. http://dotnet.sys-con.com/read/44863.htmhttp://dotnet.sys-con.com/read/44863.htm Tue, 18 May 2004 00:00:00 GMT XAML, pronounced 'zammel,' stands for Extensible Application Markup Language, which made its first appearance during PDC 2003, when Microsoft unveiled its next version of Windows, known as Longhorn. XAML is a part of the new Windows API, codenamed Avalon, which in turn is part of Longhorn. Avalon presents a major jump in the user interface capabilities of Windows and promises ease of use for the developer and a much richer user interaction for the end user. http://dotnet.sys-con.com/read/39063.htmhttp://dotnet.sys-con.com/read/39063.htm Mon, 12 Jan 2004 00:00:00 GMT Use of XML has become more and more popular over the past few years. Security is a big concern since the content of an XML file is in plain text and the information is in a human-readable form. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has developed standards to meet the security requirements of an XML file conforming to common XML paradigms.
