More consumers are using the Web than ever before, and they are spending more time online, consuming, creating, cataloging and critiquing billions of pages each day.
With exponential growth in e-commerce transactions and consumer-facing Web sites, it has become increasingly important for businesses to deliver a differentiated
User Experience (or “UX”) that not only attracts new users but also keeps them engaged. These satisfied customers are then bringing their higher expectations for
user experiences to the workplace, thus raising the bar for enterprise applications as well.
Building these new user experiences requires development tools, flexible platform capabilities, and software services that can deliver the rich, compelling,
visuals and interactions that business and consumer scenarios require, while also providing the level of security, scalability, and maintainability that
IT departments want. Ventigrate has been using these technologies since the early betas and already showcased a Rich Internet Application on summertour.cronos.be
This application was created using Flex and ASP.Net Ajax.
Silverlight:
Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform (Mac OS and Windows) and cross-device browser plug-in that helps companies design,
develop and deliver media-enabled applications and experiences on the Web. Installed as a stand-alone browser plug-in, Silverlight 2 enables a new class of
cross-platform experiences. It is based on the power of .NET, including dozens of built in controls, rich layout and styling, a powerful networking stack,
productive data access, data shaping, and much, much more.
By using Expression Studio and Visual Studio, designers and developers can collaborate more effectively using the skills they have today to light up the Web of tomorrow.
ASP.NET Ajax:
While a lot of people talk about Ajax technology, they actually mean a set of powerfull technologies to create web applications.
These technologies incorporate:
- Standards like CSS and XHTML
- Interaction using the Document Object Model
- Data manipulation using XML and XSLT
- Asynchronous datacalls with XMLHTTPRequest
- Javascript as the 'glue' for all these tools
Microsoft created a library for ASP.Net developers so they can easily integrate Ajax functionality in ASP.net applications.
This library, formely called "Atlas", is now known asp ASP.Net Ajax.
It includes client- and server-side controls that facilitates the use of these Ajax functionalities by prodiving easy to use controls
