CMAP November ASP.NET AJAX Presentation

Central Maryland Association for .NET Professionals had INETA speaker Jason Beres come and talk about the ASP.NET AJAX (ATLAS) framework.  Jason showed how easy it was to use the server controls and extenders to make your web application more "Web 2.0".

Another great thing about Jason, as a Chief Technical Evangelist for Infragistics, coming to speak to the group is his tremendous graciousness in giving away numerous copies of Infragistics NetAdvantage for .NET Suite subscriptions.  They where given away as part of CMAP's end of meeting raffle.  I was lucky enough to win a copy. I am looking for forward to using it in a number of applications.

Thank you Jason, Infragistics, and INETA for a great meeting.
