jQuery for ASP.NET Developers

ASP.NET Ajax gives the power of Ajax to ASP.NET Web developers, but at a cost in flexibility, performance degradation and bandwidth. But ASP.NET developer have other alternatives to build their Ajax applications. By serializing data on the server in the JSON format and using the JavaScript library jQuery, developers can overcome the limitations of Microsoft’s own Ajax stack. And because jQuery wraps complex Ajax calls and provides cross-browser support, it doesn’t add signficant complexity to your code (assuming you’re already good with curly braces).

This talk debuted at VSLive Orlando in October 2009 and has been given at pretty much every VSLive since then.

You can download the code and the database from this talk.

If you’re looking for more technical depth on jQuery, we provide an extended online course covering jQuery on our online learning site, CodeLesson. CodeLesson courses are perfect for busy professionals because they have the structure of a classroom (including a real human instructor) but you can do the class work at a time that’s convenient to you.
