"jQuery throttle / debounce allows you to rate-limit your functions in multiple useful ways. Passing a delay and callback to $.throttle returns a new function that will execute no more than once every delay milliseconds. Passing a delay and callback to $.debounce returns a new function that will execute only once, coalescing multiple sequential calls into a single execution at either the very beginning or end."

"Many Web applications require a way to restrict access to some resources (such as specific pages) so that those resources are accessible only to authenticated users. The default Web application project template for ASP.NET MVC provides a controller, data models, and views that you can use to add ASP.NET forms authentication to your application. The built-in functionality lets users register, log on and off, and change their password. For many applications, this functionality provides a sufficient level of user authentication."

"One thing that always annoys me when working on a web app is having to write those inevitable pages full of admin functions some of which are just a single button. When hacking up one such page I had a thought - a plug in library providing a command line for your web app might save me a lot of time. NetBash is what I came up with."

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

"Naked Objects MVC combines the power of the naked objects pattern with Microsoft's ASP.NET MVC 2 framework. Now you can take a POCO domain object model and turn it into a fully-functional web application in minutes, without writing a single line of user interface code. You can then customise the generic user interface by adding custom style sheets, custom views and custom controllers, following standard ASP.NET patterns."

"backbone.js from DocumentCloud is a small (2KB, packed) open-source library which allows you to apply the MVC (Model-View-Controller) principle to your JavaScript applications. Backbone supplies structure to JavaScript-heavy applications by providing models key-value binding and custom events, collections with a rich API of enumerable functions, views with declarative event handling, and connects it all to your existing application over a RESTful JSON interface."

The dynamic stylesheet language. LESS extends CSS with dynamic behavior such as variables, mixins, operations and functions. LESS runs on both the client-side (IE 6+, Webkit, Firefox) and server-side, with Node.js.

"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."
