As you already know I’m getting into ASP.NET using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. It´s great, you can do so much with it.

One of the things that I like the most is how much easier it is to develop Ajax web applications on it. This is because of its connectivity and how nice and user friendly it is. You don’t need to write more than what is needed to get the job done.

This is one of my quick notes on how to make a simple Ajax request/post method. We have a text field, label and a button. When you type something in that text field the value of the text field will be displayed in the label without reloading the page (Ajax) after pressing the button.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 is something I was skeptical about when I first started working with it. I was more passionate for Eclipse and the Java environment because that’s where I was working most of the time on and did not take a closer look at Microsoft´s IDE which I’m about to work on for the next two years.
When I knew I was about to leave Eclipse and Java for ASP.NET and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 I was in shock for a short of time.

This is the point where you are going to learn a new language and a new way to work although I have knowledge of other languages like JavaScript for instance. I thought it is going to be very difficult and hard because I never have used Microsoft’s Developer Tools or any of their languages, I usually use my Mac to develop pages in a Fast programming Notepad like application or the Eclipse IDE for school projects in Java.
Now as we speak I’m getting into C# and Visual Studio. I started to use this magnificent tool for over 2 months now and I’m glad to say that I’m starting to like it allot. It’s amazing what Microsoft have provided for us developers.

You have a simple C# API, documentations and tutorials online to help you out. And the best thing of all is that C# is actually very close to the Java language that we learned in school. So syntaxes in C# are piece of cake.

Here is some of my quick notes on sessions and saving variables between them. How to declare a variable to store in a session so you can retrieve it and print it out to a label for the user dynamically.
