All topics are covered at a 200-level. Space is limited, so register early to get your seat at A Day of Ajax!

Go to https://www.clicktoattend.com/invitation.aspx?code=118815 to register.  I think there are only about 75 seats available, so you will want to register as soon as possible to get in.

Look forward to seeing you there.  Hopefully I will have a few copies of Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX to give away at the event.

MSDN has uploaded the Webcast I did last week.  It was my first one so there is some funny mess ups in the beginning.  I didn't know how to get back to the live meeting slides after switching to share my applications.  the host had to get on the line and tell me what to click.  Oh well.  I won't make that mistake again.

If you want to view it you can see it on-demand here, ASP.NET AJAX From Scratch MSDN Webcast.  I would love to hear any feedback you may have.

I got asked to help with a Webcast due to scheduling conflict and will be giving a Webcast on Monday May 14th at 12:00 p.m.  SDN Webcast: Russ and Joe Developer Show: ASP.NET AJAX from Scratch (Level 100) is where you can register online or download later.  I don't know when or if they will offer it as a download, but I will keep you posted when I find out.

I will be going over some basic stuff with UpdatePanel and some of the controls in the Ajax Control Toolkit.  I also will go over a cool demo using the Ajax Library to write my own class using Orcas Beta 1 and showing off intellisense with JavaScript.  It is truly amazing to reference my own JavaScript class and then see the properties and methods using intellisense when calling the class in the aspx page.
