ASP.NET is a web application framework developed by Microsoft® to allow programmers to build dynamic web sites, web applications and web services. It was first released in January 2002 with version 1.0 of the .NET Framework, and is the successor to Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) technology. ASP.NET is built on the Common Language Runtime (CLR), allowing programmers to write ASP.NET code using any supported .NET language.

AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a group of interrelated web development techniques used on the client-side to create interactive web applications. With AJAX, web applications can retrieve data from the server asynchronously in the background without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page.

The courseware in this category provides a broad array of information from architectural overviews of ASP.NET to developing AJAX web clients using C# and ASP.NET.
