The Importance and Implementation of Client-Side Scripting in ASP.NET
ASP.NET introduced a number of features that achieve improved functionality and reduce development time. For example, web forms and server controls work together to translate client-side user actions into server-side code execution. Despite making the user interaction more event driven, this may cause an unnecessary number of round trips to the web server. Client-side scripting can help to minimize these round trips or postbacks. Client-side scripting is as important today as it has ever been, and we need to continue to utilize this capability in ways beyond data validation. The purpose of this talk is threefold: 1) demonstrate some common uses of client-side script, 2) discover and utilize the ASP.NET capability for delivering client-side script to the rendered web form, and 3) discuss the options for optimum reuse of client-side scripting functionality. During the process, we'll uncover how ASP.NET's built-in server controls utilize client-side scripting, we will build custom controls that utilize client-side scripting to enhance the user experience, and we will take a peek at what we can expect for the client-side toolbox in ASP.NET 2.0.

In his spare time, he runs the day-to-day operation of a rapidly growing training company. His technology focus includes anything .NET, SQL Server, Sharepoint, and the Software Development Process. Prior to joining MAX, Steve had his own consulting company, C-Cubed Technology. His company's focus was software development training, consulting and Technology Management training. Steve has more than 20 years experience in IT and software development. In addition to software development, his experience includes operating system design, robotics and automation, infrastructure and leading a whole bunch of people in a lot of different directions. His project experience includes the small, local implementation to the very large, global deployment. His IT journey began in software development as a graduate student when there were no +'s after the C and when Assembly was a programming language with a very poor IDE. Steve received his Ph.D. in Chemistry and Computer Science in 1985 and began a career in Technology and Product Development with a global Fortune 500 Company. After 15 years of traveling the world, developing new products and having way too much fun, he decided to settle down and run his own company. He began working with MAX as a contractor in 2000 and the rest is history. Steve's other interests include reading, games and puzzles, music, eating and spending time with his wife.
