I started my development career on the client-side writing JavaScript and DHTML components in my spare time. In 2005, Nicholas C. Zakas asked me to join him in writing the first edition of Professional Ajax for Wiley Publishing. Since Professional Ajax, 1st Edition, I've been blessed to take part in other book projects: Professional Ajax 2nd Edition, and Beginning JavaScript 3rd and 4th editions.

Sorry, I dont mean to be rude, but I just really, really, really, dont understand why ANYONE would EVER use ASP.
Honestly I cant think of ANY good reason, not one, and I have been a web developer for 5 years.
Please, Im actually really interested to hear why anyone would actually use ASP.

I don’t know why anyone would use ASP, either. It’s an extremely old and slow technology. But if you’re curious why you may want to use ASP.NET, check out the first 10ish minutes of the first lesson in this series.

So sick of the “PHP is better than .Net” junk!
I have been coding in .Net (C# and VB.Net) since 2005 and love it!

Jeremy, great tutorials, very helpful specially for the beginners.
I have a question about Master Pages, how about If I want to create a generic/reusable MasterPage and publish it live (along with CCS and Images folder) on server and use http:// path to refer to this master page in order to use it across applications.
