Ehh, I used to work with ASP.NET at work, moved to ASP.NET MVC, and now I switched jobs and got stuck with the classic ASP.NET flavor again. As much as it pains me to admit it, it does feel "aged" and "legacy" to me these days.

The video the article links to has Julie Larson-Green going over the tiled interface. Different video from the one you are referring to I believe, but it covers almost the same exact material in a very similar manner. Here's the link used i

There are JavaScript UI libs that handle the HTML/CSS for you like ExtJS. You'd still need to at least supply a single HTML file that just loads the js files though, but that hardly requires knowing HTML/CSS. After that the whole presentati

To clarify: HTML5+JS is only suitable as a replacement to the presentation portions of .NET (so WPF or WinForms), which are just a small portion of everything that .NET is. Think of .NET as being a Humvee and HTML5 and JS as a motorcycle, a

"Also seeing WebGL taking hold, I must say that I'd certainly consider JS as a serious contender for the likes of .Net etc" At most I would say JavaScript can be a "serious contender" to a very small subset of .NET. There is no way you can

Ehh, last time I messed with canvas (sometime around February this year) any approach to clearing the entire canvas was too slow. In order to get any decent performance I had to layer multiple canvases on top of each other and keep the dime

Good lord that is slow. Either an update screwed my browser up or this person needs to change their approach or optimize something.

I think it was a combination of things. One, the timing was nice because JavaScript was getting more and more attention as its engines were starting to seriously compete for speed. Two, I think the fact that it was JavaScript on the server

Well, a whole web based OS I understand, and maybe I even get using html5/js to do a few things in an OS interface -- though I'd personally not go that route myself. This though is completely confusing to me. Perhaps the article and video p

ExtJS's set of grid panels was just about the most impressive one I've seen thus far (tree grids, group grids, paging grids, features for filtering/searching, sorting, hide/show columns, binding to xml/json/direct, etc). Though it would pro

C#: var obj = new { propA = 1 , propB = "meh" }; JavaScript: var obj = { propA: 1 , propB: "meh" }; I admit that's about as close as they get syntactically, but with type inference, higher order functions, and anonymous types th

I'm not going to say I disagree with you, I'm just quite stumped as to why such a large portion of web developers don't like static typing. These days a static language with good type inference honestly gets rid of most of the burden and th

"The only people who can make that claim are those who don't really know what .NET is." Since this is about .NET developers supposedly being enraged, I'd guess it's more likely they don't know what HTML5 or JavaScript is -- and perhaps this

What is it with people trying jQuery and immediately jumping the gun into "I can solve all of the world's problems with this!" land? Sure, it's great for DOM interaction, but that's simply not enough for any decent UI framework. The jQueryU

I've used ExtJS with ASP.NET MVC for a few years, and it was quite nice. Just have the controller functions return JSON serialized data instead of a regular view. If decoupling the UI from the server side portion of the app isn't a concern
