"An often-asked question on the selenium-users mailing list is how to test Ajax-specific functionality with Selenium. The problem with Ajax testing is that the HTML page under test is modified asynchronously, so a plain Selenium assert or verify command might very well fail because the element being tested has not been created yet by the Ajax call. A quick-and-dirty solution is to put a pause command before the assert, but this is error-prone, since the pause might be not sufficient on a slow machine, while being unnecessarily slow on a faster one."

"This walkthrough shows how to get started with adding ASP.NET AJAX functionality to an ASP.NET MVC application. "

"In case you did not see the latest news, what we used to know as WCF Web API was recently rebranded and included in ASP.NET MVC 4 as ASP.NET Web API. While both frameworks are similar in essence with focus on HTTP, the latter was primarily designed for building HTTP services that don't typically require an user intervention. For example, some AJAX endpoints or a Web API for a mobile application. While you could use ASP.NET MVC for implementing those kind of services, that would require some extra work for implementing things right like content-negotiation, documentation, versioning, etc. What really matter is that both framework share many of the extensibility points like model binders, filters or routing to name a few."

"Due to popular demand, here is a tutorial on how I created one of the more complicated pieces of machinery on my new site: the contact form. A lot of different techniques went into this"

I'm not the one that thinks so. Everyone else decided on that :D

EVERYONE!? That's a bit arrogant. Even for you. :P

"Deferreds, new in jQuery 1.5, decouple logic dependent on the outcome of a task from the task itself. They're nothing new to the JavaScript scene; Mochikit and Dojo have implemented them for some time, but with Julian Aubourg's AJAX rewrite landing in 1.5, deferreds in jQuery was the logical next step. With deferreds, multiple callbacks can be bound to a task's outcome, and any of these callbacks can be bound even after the task is complete. The task in question may be asynchronous, but not necessarily. "

AmplifyJS is a set of components designed to solve common web application problems with a simplistic API. Amplify's goal is to simplify all forms of data handling by providing a unified API for various data sources. Amplify's store component handles persistent client-side storage, using standards like localStorage and sessionStorage, but falling back on non-standard implementations for older browsers. Amplify's request adds some additional features to jQuery's ajax method while abstracting away the underlying data source.
