I'm currently reading MS Ajax in Action book and am enjoying to the fullest. I didn't know how easy it is to declare an Interface in the JavaScript using MS Ajax (even though, the original JavaScript doesn't support Interfaces).

The example (of IComparable Interface from the book) is as follows: (assuming you have correct configuration for MS Ajax on your aspx page)

Samples.Temperature = function(value) 

{

 this._value = value;

}

Samples.Temperature.prototype = 

{

 compareTo : function(comparand) {

 if(Samples.Temperature.isInstanceOfType(comparand)) {

 var thisValue = this.get_value();

 var comparandValue = comparand.get_value();

 if(thisValue == comparandValue)

 return 0;

 return (thisValue > comparandValue) ? 1 : -1;

}

else {

 throw Error.argumentType();

}

},

 get_value : function() {

 return this._value;

},

 set_value : function(value) {

 this._value = value;

}

}

Samples.Temperature.registerClass('Samples.Temperature', null,

Samples.IComparable);

The other JavaScript framework that I always liked, is, jQuery. It's just awesome when you want to do quick animation, drag n' drop, etc. without adding a lot of code.

In future, I'm planning to post more code from my experience with MS Ajax and other Ajax related goodies.

I have updated my projects site. This section of my bicnet website is a place where I can throw working examples of blog posts, and other things I like to show.  Sometimes at home I'll find something cool, and I'll throw it up there for my manager to see.

 A small note, I got lazy while going through the Microsoft Exams which Is why you only see a few chapters on there :P

 Updated Projects:

• Reorder List using SQL DataSource
• Generics Refresher
• CSS Pseudo Classes
  

If anyone would like me to put an example of anything ASP.NET, let me know.

Dave Platt just pinged me to tell me that he'll be doing a 4 day Composite Application Block Workshop over at Idag in Israel. Dave is seriously one of the funniest and most knowledgeable speakers I've met (got to meet him a couple of years back when he was Speaking at TechEd Europe).

He wanted me to help pass on the word about his course, and since I know this guy to be pretty darn good at what he does, I have no problem saying that this should be an interesting course to go to (if you can spring out your wallet, that it..)

Tell them Roy Sent you.

Oh, you should be interested in a couple of books he's written:

Programming Microsoft Composite UI Application Block and Smart Client Software Factory (Pro-Best Practices)

Why Software Sucks...and What You Can Do About It

While you're at it, here are a couple of good resources to learn about the Composite UI application block and the next version named "Acropolis":
