JavaScript API's and Debugging
As stated a few posts back, I spent some time looking at other Ajax frameworks. I really have become fascinated with the JavaScipt APIs. I know it's cool to not have to do JavaScript (JS, hereafter), but enabling a good JS API within a framework like ASP.NET or in Java's JSP/Servlet Architecture is really not that hard.
As I said, I'm fascinated with the libraries (I'm not always thrilled with where things are going)... As I have repeatedly stated I'm not so sure what I think of the Ajax/Web 2.0's improved GUI features (I think it's asking for trouble).
That said, one...

MS Ajax ClientScript Cheat Sheets (by me)
I've been spending the last couple weeks in the MS Ajax ClientScript API. In the process I found myself jumping all over the docs. I did use the pretty ones given out by someone (I think MS) for a little bit, but I wanted access to everything and generally knew which namespace I was looking for.
As a result I have created my own cheat sheet containing every change to the standard Javascript library made by the MS Ajax Extensions. It's 10 pages (which if you print it you have 5 pages front and back). I'll probably make a couple improvements...

MS ASP.NET Ajax Extensions team -- giving some love
When Atlas split and became a CTP and a beta, I was one of the naysayers. I couldn’t believe what had been done; we had essentially been given the UpdatePanel. I was so upset that I decided that it was time to move out and look at other Ajax toolkits. So for last 6 months or so, I sojourned in the lands of Telerik and Yahoo (both of which are excellent toolkits). About 2 months ago (around the release of MS ASP.NET Ajax Extensions v1), I decided to take a closer look at the end result. While the main server...

100 reasons??
I was just reading Sam lamenting the fact that Vista had a very disappointing launch. He points to a site claims to give 100 Reasons you’ll be speechless about Vista. Personally, I’ve not seen anything that would cause me to go “ooooo! I need this now.” (I did see reasons for XP, BTW). I decided to grab the list and see what’s there (and I’m sharing it with you). Basically, this article is meant to prove Sam’s point from the view of someone who hasn’t used Vista, but is a techno-geek (BTW, I really want to like Vista).
I guess one more...
