Chapter 6. Optimizing ASP.NET AJAX

Just like other frameworks, the ASP.NET AJAX Framework is not capable of serving all of the specific needs for every type of Ajax application. Frameworks are kept simple and generic enough to satisfy 70 percent of the Ajax application's requirements. But the remaining 30 percent of requirements require you to go deep into the framework to make the necessary modifications. Moreover, off-the-shelf Ajax frameworks don't solve all real-life problems, and new and unique challenges always come up every now and then. In this chapter, we will review several challenges posed by Ajax applications that must be resolved for high-volume Ajax web sites. There are also several design decisions that must be made if you release it as a mass consumer Ajax web site.
