June 2009 Meeting

Architecting Web Applications using ASP.Net WebForms with jQuery and WCF - by Don Demsak (MVP DonXml)

This meeting is Thursday, June 4, 2009 at 6:00pm - 8:00pm. Location: Sarasota Community Foundation, located at 2635 Fruitville Rd., Sarasota, FL 34237 (just west of Tuttle on the north side of Fruitville).

jQuery is all the rage in web development (and rightfully so), but you already have a large code based built on WebForms, ASMX, and maybe even ASP.Net AJAX. In this session we will:
International .NET Association

Learn how to avoid some of them architectural pitfalls of moving from a pure server side transformation model to a more client side friendly transformation model.

Re-architect ASMX web services to WCF web services.

Utilize jQuery and WCF.
