Applied Client-Side Scripting with ASP.NET

The use of client-side scripting can dramatically improve a user's experience of a website - by speeding up the application, reducing round trips to the server, and reducing load on the server. ASP.NET makes it extremely easy for developers to use sophisticated server-side scripting to create complex websites, but unfortunately this can make it easy to neglect client-side scripting, resulting in slower applications. In the .NET world, there are countless methods that can combine both of these scripting/programming techniques, leading to higher quality, more robust web applications. In this article, author Andreas Papathanasis leads you through a few examples that will better illustrate how to wrap the management of client code using .NET classes, effectively creating client-side code on the fly. He also explores the details of mixing client- and server-side scripts.
