In this book, Esposito challenges readers to think beyond the "easy way to AJAX", which involves adding AJAX capabilities to a non-AJAX system designed in the old model of web development. Instead, he proposes an alternate, if more difficult, paradigm involving patterns and complexities - and culminating in a new, pure-AJAX architecture. You'll learn why far better solutions result from the second, more radical approach - and you'll get practical guidance on how to implement this architecture for Rich Internet Applications (RIAs).

A stable framework for customized user credentials and authorizations
What is our primary use case?
Our company used the solution to provide web services, pages, and registration forms for our client's job portal.
What is most valuable?
The solution's framework supports storing all client-side and server-side code in one place.
The solution is very user-friendly.
What needs improvement?
Scripted languages like AngularJS and Node.js are much faster than using ASP on the client side.
We created server-side code in ASP based on client-side code but questions that hit the server took time to render as they searched the data. Node.js includes client-assisting languages that speed up the process.
For how long have I used the solution?
I used the solution for nine years at my prior place of employment.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is more stable than others because there are various security protocols that can be implemented to restrict users.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is easy to scale.
Our company had more than 100 users with no issues.
How are customer service and support?
I did not need to contact support.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was easy.
We pre-wrote code and identified functionality so that any deployment only took about fifteen minutes.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution requires a licensing fee but is worth the investment.
What other advice do I have?
The solution provides a good framework for creating commands and portals for user log-ins. It can perform many functions such as special credentials or authorizations that are specific to each user.
I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Private Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

It is very easy and straightforward to implement, but they need to fix the references that are not .Net built.
Valuable Features
* Stability
* Easy to use
* A lot of resources available on the internet
* Full support from the vendor
Improvements to My Organization
Our main product is built using ASP.Net. So, basically, ASP.Net is helping us formulate the future of our company.
Room for Improvement
Improving the project ready templates will add a great amount of value. They also need to find a way to fix the references that are not .Net built neither in assemblies nor available in NuGet packages.
Use of Solution
I've used it for more than 11 years.
Deployment Issues
In older versions there were issues, however, most of these issues have been fixed in the newer versions.
Stability Issues
Not really.
Scalability Issues
There were issues in the older versions, but usually scalability is an architectural issue, not an implementation one.
Customer Service and Technical Support
Customer Service: It's excellent.
Technical Support: It's excellent.
Previous Solutions
I worked on Java and PHP, and switched because of the features mentioned above.
Initial Setup
It is very easy and straightforward.
Implementation Team
We did it in-house.

Works like a perfect solution for each possible project
What is our primary use case?
I have been using ASP.NET and Microsoft technologies for more than five years. I have never been this much addicted to a language like I am right now with C#. We have been using ASP.NET framework from mobile development to web development. It just works like a perfect solution to each possible project I've come across in life up till now.
How has it helped my organization?
There was a gap between developing mobile application some years ago but since Xamarin is in the family of Microsoft, which is a pretty cool cross-platform technology, there is nothing you can't do with Xamarin in the mobile world. It was useful for our organization to reach out for the mobile projects as well.
Most of the important things that would be good in the next release could be support in tooling and design of cross-platform app development.
What is most valuable?
Below are the coolest features of ASP.NET which I found valuable:
* Cross-platform and container support
* High performance
* Asynchronous programming via async/await
* Unified MVC and Web API frameworks
* Multiple environment and development mode
* Dependency Injection
* WebSockets and SignalR
* Cross-site request forgery protection
* Self-hosted web applications
* Action filters
* Globalization and localization
* Profiler
What needs improvement?
Although ASP.NET is a full package for any sort of development, whether be it in web or mobile, each part has been covered well enough but there is always room for improvement. I am pretty sure that Microsoft is working in the same direction to ease the pain of developers. I won't point out anything but I am going to enjoy the fact that it's pretty cool to solve something on our own rather than just complaining about something which we haven't tried. However, who said it's going to be easy, but nobody said it's impossible. The most important thing to improve in the next release would be support in tooling and high-level designer toolbox for cross-platform mobile app development.
For how long have I used the solution?
More than five years.

A common, open-source solution that is very easy to understand and manage
What is our primary use case?
Our company has a staff of five technicians and we use the solution for web application development projects on customer's local systems.
What is most valuable?
The solution is very easy to maintain because UI management is simple and many libraries are available.
The solution is more secure than other products.
What needs improvement?
The solution needs to support its framework on all devices used for mobile application development.
For example, development on an Android device requires use of Xamarin and that adds a level of difficulty.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable.
How was the initial setup?
The setup and installation is easy. The deployment only takes two to five minutes.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution is open source and free.
What other advice do I have?
Friends and colleagues have all learned and use the solution so it is very common. Java and PHP are less common than .NET technology.
I recommend use of the solution because it is easy to understand and manage.
I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Private Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
