The Microsoft Network Monitor Development Team [1] has released the new Network Monitor 3.0 [2]. Here are the key features:

Last Friday I wrote about the problem [1] of atlasglob.axd on MSDN. Today I did several tests and found out that the Accept-Language is one of the problems there, and that is the reason why not everyone got this JavaScript error.

I come across more and more web sites where JavaScript is used to get great user experience on the client-side. There are a couple of JavaScript frameworks written only to add animation effects to static html web pages. My favorite is the Yahoo! UI Library [1] and the great library yui-ext [2] (written by Jack Slocum [3]) that will extend the Yahoo! UI with common form elements like a dialog [4], a grid or layout panels.

I had some time to have a look at the showcases of sites powered [1] by ASP.NET AJAX [2]. There are a couple of new web sites available that I didn't looked at. I started my Internet Explorer, Fiddler [3] and Ethereal [4] and captured everything I got. Here are my results:

I read the last post [1] from Rick Strahl [2] about IE 7 Script Errors. Yes, I found this already on some sites, too, so I started to find the real issue.

Endlich ist es soweit, Windows Vista ist auf Deutsch verfügbar über MSDN [1] und Technet. Mal sehen wie, ob die Deutschen auch so verrückt sind nach der ISO Datei, und Microsoft den Download wieder entfernt. Also, nicht alle auf einmal... ;)

Heute ist es soweit, die meisten Windows XP Benutzer werden den Internet Explorer 7 über das automatische Windows Update erhalten. Interessant sind die Details des Updates: "Features zur Erleichertung täglicher Aufgaben wie Drucken und Suchen im Web" - hm, was genau ist damit gemeint?

On my last post [1] I wrote about some common mistakes when upgrading your web application to an AJAX enabled one. I got a great feedback on this post... and a couple of developers wrote something like "Don't use Microsoft products!" or "Use JSP instead of ASPX and you are fine...!".

The last months I found more and more web sites that make a heavy use of AJAX to be on the Web 2.0 train, but a lot of them are very strange because they are slower than before, you will get more errors and sometimes nothing does work (i.e. when running on a mobile device). Here are my top 10 mistakes when using AJAX (not depending which framework you want to use):

Ich bin morgen Abend (20. November 2006) bei der .NET Developers Group München [1] und spreche über Web 2.0. In meinem Vortrag möchte ich verschiedene Frameworks (Yahoo! UI, Dojo, AjaxPro [2], Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX) kurz vorstellen, und auch Funktionen zeigen, die viele bis jetzt wohl noch nicht kennen (wie z.B. das lokale Cachen von Daten oder eine Offline AJAX Anwendung). Außerdem habt ihr die Chance Bücher zum Thema AJAX zu gewinnen, es lohnt sich also auf jeden Fall vorbeizuschauen.

For all of us who are not familiar with Linux here is a short description how to get your ASP.NET web application using AjaxPro [1] running on Mono [2]. The Mono project offers a great VMware virtual machine (Suse) which you can download here [3]. There is a free VMware player [4] which you need if you don't have the VMware workstation.

While reading several posts about JavaScript performance [1 [1]] [2 [2]] I did a simple test, too. My first part will compare Firefox and IE7 using global variables compared with local ones.

That's a good questions: what's next with AjaxPro [1]? I'm still working on the Java port of AjaxPro, working already very good. During the port I found several new ideas on how to improve AjaxPro.

Today I meet Miguel de Icaza [1] (blog [2]) at the Prio conference [3] in Baden-Baden. Miguel is the founder of the Mono project [4] which implements a common language runtime on linux that will be 100% compatible to the Microsoft .NET Framework (means: you can develop using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET and run it on cheap linux servers). We had a great discussion about Microsoft .NET (all the available versions), WCF/WPF and, of course, ASP.NET AJAX [5] (Atlas) and Ajax.NET Professional [6] (AjaxPro).
