Ok, I think I missed announcing this. I'm giving a talk on alternatives to writing JavaScript as the clientscript in the browser.
The talk will center around 2 technologies (and be mostly demo-driven).
One of the two technologies, Script#, is available today and gives you a translator from C# to JavaScript. So you can write C# and have well-written JavaScript produced for you behind the scenes. The produced JavaScript will look very similar to the original C# code.
The other technology is a future one, but no less cool (and if you read my blog, you know about it). Silverlight can be used to manipulate the DOM (Html) Document in the browser. Nearly everything that you can do with JavaScript you can do with C#, VB, Python, etc. via the Silverlight plugin running in the browser (albeit with a tiny bit of effort). Come see how to do it!
Oh, yeah if you missed the Day of Ajax, I'll be repeating my talk on Best Practices with MS Ajax. I promise to have a better delivery this time (hopefully, I'll be awake... Kabza scheduled me for early morning... I am NOT a morning person)
