Last Tuesday, Scott Guthrie announced in his blog the new Microsoft AJAX content delivery network (CDN), this is great news to all of us using AJAX in our commercial and non-commercial applications.
What is it?
First of all, a CDN is a Content Delivery Network which is composed of multiple servers strategically placed across the globe. In the case of the Microsoft AJAX CDN servers, the jQuery and ASP.NET AJAX libraries are cached across multiple web-sites around the world and they are available to you now.

I guess I am a lucky guy, since 2008 I have won twice a free subscription/license to Infragistic's NetAdvantage suite valued at about $1,500.00. Needless to say, I have enjoyed these "free" controls and I am very happy with it.

Looking at Visual Studio 10 improvements, I found one that I really like and I am sure a lot of you will find this very cool as well. Visual Studio 10 now supports multiple monitor setups, yes!

You can now have your code in one of the monitors and then the designer in a different monitor… the use of screen real-estate can be highly improved with this feature, and hopefully our...
As I was listening to some Scott Hanselman’s podcast with Richard Campbell, they mentioned Microsoft’s Response Point phone system. Yes, it seems that I have been under a rock since I really didn’t know anything about Response Point until last night.

Response Point is targeted to small businesses with...
