Portland .NET User Group: Using jQuery with ASP.NET
September 1st, 2009
I'll be back at the Portland Area User Group (PADNUG) in September
right after I return from Europe. This time the topic is using jQuery
with ASP.NET. Here's the session abstract: jQuery is a compact and
powerful JavaScript library that greatly simplifies JavaScript and HTML
DOM manipulation. jQuery's appeal lies in its compact implementation and
flexible and elegant use of selectors to select document elements and
manipulate them using jQuery's flexible and intuitive functions
in a browser independent way. From AJAX functionality, to easy DOM
manipulation, to simplified event handling,
to simple effects this compact library provides many ways to make
client scripting much easier and… actually fun. Additionally a vast
community of add-in authors have added hundreds of extremely useful,
easy to use and free plug-ins that provide many common useful features
to common client side tasks. In this session I'll show a quick review of
jQuery's core client side features, but the main focus of this session
will be on integration of ASP.NET server side functionality for AJAX
callbacks. We'll look at various ways to interface with ASP.NET with
jQuery via manual implementations in WebForms and MVC applications as
well as using ASMX/WCF to handle callbacks. We'll also look at several
examples that demonstrate how to effectively manage client side and
server side operations in a maintainable way to minimize code and layout
duplication by using client side templates and wrapping jQuery
functionality via server side components.
NovemberI'll
be doing a 3 day training seminar on using jQuery with ASP.NET
for CoDe Training
for a high intensity interactive seminar on one of my favorite
topics. Here's the basic abstract: Find out how
to take advantage of the power of jQuery in your Web applications in
this intensive 3 day course that covers a wide range of topics for using
jQuery in your ASP.NET applications. The course covers the basics of
JavaScript and Ajax, the core client side features of jQuery,
integration of jQuery via
Ajax callbacks against ASP.NET Web Forms and MVC
applications and extending of jQuery via plug-ins both third
party and your own. The course is taught via instructor led live code
samples and walkthroughs.
Introduction to Web Development with
ASP.NET for FoxPro and Web Connection Developers
November
I'll be doing a 3 day
training seminar that introduces .NET and ASP.NET development to FoxPro
developers with some specific focus given to similarities between the
West Wind Web Connection product and ASP.NET development. The course
covers a practical introduction to .NET and C# language basics
using best pr.actices and a host of tools to make it easier for FoxPro
developers to become productive in .NET without having to wade through
the low level learning curves in .NET. While there are no real short
cuts to learning the breadth of .NET features, this course and support
tools provide a jump start to get up to speed more quickly. The course
covers the basics of .NET and C#, introduction to Web Forms and its
architecture, a discussion of data access along with a business layer to
access data easily. The course is taught via code demonstrations and a
walk through of building a small application.
I'll
be back at ASP.NET connections this fall in Las Vegas doing 3 sessions: Using jQuery with ASP.NET,
Credit Card Processing for Web Applications, Low Level ASP.NET: Taking
advantage of Modules and Handlers.
