Jim Zimmerman - ASP.NET, MVC, Ajax and ORM

Some cool stuff microsoft is doing with AJAX - style applications. This site is very new and not yet complete, but you will get an idea of what they are doing. Pretty cool stuff.

Here is a link to a look at the Atlas technology.

I am looking at it myself and hope to incorporate this into my presentation on Saturday, Sept. 24th, 2005 in Tallahassee for Code Camp.

This one time at code camp (Jacksonville), my laptop screen went out before my presentation. I ran into this cool guy named Mike who worked for a large insurance company and told him that I was nervous to drive my presentation from the wall and not my laptop screen so I would not be able to face the audience. Plus my presentation was mostly code, so it was going to be very hard to drive the screen from the wall and present at the same time.

Then I thought, hey do you have a crossover cable? He said yea, actually I do. Then I asked if I could borrow his laptop and set up a network connection and then remote desktop to my laptop which had all of the code on it. I asked Dave to see if they had a monitor that had mulitple video out and he want to look for one.

Meanwhile, Mike and I go up to an empty room and figure out the way to remote desktop into my laptop and then I drive the session through his laptop. We get it to work about 15 minutes before my session.

Thanks Mike for your help and being there at the right time. Funny how things work sometimes.

Anyway, I had a fun time in Jacksonville and am looking forward to going to Tallahassee Code camp on Sept 24th. I hope to see you all there.

I had a great time in Jacksonville this last weekend. I really enjoyed meeting some very smart people. It was also cool to meet the folks at MSN who were also very smart and enlightening. For those of you that saw my code demos you already know that I cannot post my code for the build a car because of contract reasons, but you can download the other samples that I showed. I will also be posting a few real world examples of the code I did show for build a car shortly, just not in its entirety(sp). For now you can download my other two demos below on my previous post.

I had a great time meeting you all!

I led a session on Saturday for tampa code camp called AJAX Now with ASP.NET 2.0. I had a great time and really enjoyed discussing code with fellow developers.

Here is the powerpoint of the session.

Here is the project for using script callbacks in ASP.NET 2.0. I created a delegate class that allows you to call multiple methods using script callbacks instead of being stuck with just one call and one return.

Also i have taken code from Jason Diamond and made it work with ASP.NET 2.0. Here are the project files using vs 2005 beta2.

You can also see his source here on his blog.

Any questions or comments please feel free to post.

I will be posting my code samples for AJAX for ASP.NET 2.0 tomorrow, on Sunday. I really enjoyed meeting new developers to challenge my brain and joke around beer objects at the dotnet pub club.
