1.2 Adding Ajax Functionality with Anthem.NET
Ajax is currently a hot technology. It greatly enhances web application users’ online experiences by improving performance and responsiveness: postbacks of the entire page are eliminated, with data transfer focusing on a small subset of the page.
However, while Ajax improves the user experience, it creates new headaches for developers, who are stuck writing more code to wire up Ajax on each control.
Anthem.NET eliminates that additional work by encapsulating the Ajax portion into regular web form controls. The new Anthem.NET controls work just like regular ASP.NET controls, but they have the power of Ajax wrapped up inside. Less coding, better performance, happier users. Everybody wins.
Jason Diamond, a trainer at the highly respected DevelopMentor, came up with the concept for the toolkit while teaching a week-long ASP.NET course. The concept grew and ended up morphing into what’s now Anthem.NET.
