    • Example website: http://www.dropthings.com
    • Major topics covered:
      • Implement a highly decoupled architecture following the popular n-tier, widget-based application model
      • Provide drag-and-drop functionality, and use ASP.NET 3.5 to build the server-side part of the web layer
      • Use LINQ to build the data access layer, and Windows Workflow Foundation to build the business layer as a collection of workflows
      • Build client-side widgets using JavaScript for faster performance and better caching
      • Get maximum performance out of the ASP.NET AJAX Framework for faster, more dynamic, and scalable sites
      • Build a custom web service call handler to overcome shortcomings in ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 for asynchronous, transactional, cache-friendly web services
      • Overcome JavaScript performance problems, and help the user interface load faster and be more responsive
      • Solve scalability and security problems as your site grows from hundreds to millions of users
      • Deploy and run a high-volume production site while solving software, hardware, hosting, and Internet infrastructure problems
      • Thirteen production disasters common to web applications serving millions of users.

This book first describes what an Ajax web portal (aka a Web 2.0 portal) is and how it can be useful as a model for personal web sites, corporate intranets, or a mass consumer web application. Then it walks you through the architectural challenges of such an application and provides a step-by-step guide to solving design issues. It explains what a widget is and how widget architecture can create a highly decoupled web application that allows the addition of an infinite number of features to a web site.
