Regarding those articles:
I think AJAX UpdatePanels can’t be the appropriate way of implementing a partial page renders for big application or good scalable ones.
So I hope I could find a dedicated sources for search things.
I know how to integrate JavaScript with ASP.NET
But what I’m looking for is a very specific resource to teach me to do whatever I could have done with AJAX UpdatePanels.
I had a (thankfully brief) affair with UpdatePanels, and since I’ve started using jQuery http://docs.jquery.com/Tutorials and jQuery UI http://jqueryui.com/
I have never looked back. I know this isnt a book but I found that most of the stuff on the website is pretty well written and can get you started pretty fast 🙂
I think the idea is you want to start looking to have your client consume server data with as little asp.net heavy handedness as possible.
I think this works alot better in ASP.NET MVC than it did in previous platforms.
