  Topic: Controlling AJAX when you're out of control Speaker:G. Andrew Duthie, Microsoft Corp. Thursday September 18, 2008 6:30- 8:30pm Location: SNL Financial One SNL Plaza Charlottesville VA 22902 United States (Map) Click to Attend Agenda: 6:30 - 7:00: Sign In, meet & greet 7:00 - 8:00: Presentation 8:00 - 8:30: Informal discussion, socializing Description: While implementing and troubleshooting AJAX functionality in an application is rarely easy, it gets even harder when you don't have complete control over the site where you have to implement it. Shared hosting environments, blog accounts on large blog sites, etc. are situations where you may have only limited control over where and when your javascript gets loaded and executed. In this talk, Microsoft developer evangelist G. Andrew Duthie will walk you through some examples of how you can overcome limitations on such sites, and how to troubleshoot some of the inevitable issues you may run into. Some basic understanding of javascript and AJAX is assumed. Examples will span from simple mouseover image manipulation to implementing controls such as Microsoft's Virtual Earth and Vertigo's Slideshow Silverlight photo gallery. There is no charge for this event and everyone is invited. Food and beverages will be provided. Posted Sep 01 2008, 08:21 AM by admin with no comments
