Hey, I am shifting teams at Microsoft! A little more than a year ago, I started working at Microsoft on the www.ASP.net community team creating ASP.NET MVC content. Over the past year, I’ve been doing things like speaking at a lot of conferences (PDC, Tech-Ed Emea, Tech-Ed India, MIX, ASP.NET Connections), writing a lot of tutorials and recording a lot of videos, and finishing a book. It has been an intense experience.
Next week, I am officially joining the ASP.NET team as a feature PM with a focus on ASP.NET AJAX. I’m going to be working on the Microsoft AJAX Framework and the AJAX Control Toolkit. I get to write specs!
I’m really excited about Ajax. Anyone who has read my latest ASP.NET Unleashed book or who has heard me speak at any conference over the last 4 years knows that I am an Ajax fanatic. There is some really exciting stuff that we are working on for the next version of ASP.NET AJAX. And, I am really excited to work with the other members of the ASP.NET team – Boris Rivers-Moore, Simon Calvert, Scott Hunter, Stefan Schackow, Scott Galloway, Phil Haack.
I do need to change the title of my blog.I’m still going to write on ASP.NET MVC, but I’m going to start writing much more about Ajax.

congratulations! looking forward to read more posts about ajax
When I saw you using Firefox/bug instead of IE at MIX, I knew I would probably enjoy the rest of the talk. Nice to see you joining the ASP.NET team!
Hey that cool your going to be making AJAX posts, but will you be making ajax posts with web forms or MVC?
Well, ajax can be of good use, just like Flash. Both in most cases ajax is used in a wrong way.
You can present a product list by using ajax. It looks fancy and it might be a bit faster. But most people forget about spiders. Spiders don’t do javascript and can therefor not run the ajax methodes needed to get a product list.
For google (and MSN/Live/Bing search probably either) you can provide a sitemap and have a low-tech version of your product listing- and details pages.
But what about the folks that are running extensions/add-ons like NoScript? They cannot properly visit your website.
So, the real trick is to make a normal site and use for instance jQuery to override some buttons and links (like paging).
But thats just my two (euro) cents.
Looking forward to see your work in action.
Great! But we would like to know who is replacing you for ASP.NET MVC bloggings.
Congrats…
There are currently big moves at Microsoft (i.e. .NET MF), looking forward to see me .NET products.
Congrats!
Looking forward to read some interesting articles on Ajax
Congratulations St.!
Hi Stephen,
This is great! From the materials I’ve seen of MVC – I’m really not a fan of it. It’s just another way of doing everything .Net does.
As browsers become ever more powerful, you’ll want as much work done on the client as possible. AJAX definitely is one of the ways to go about this, and by creating as much controls as possible it will allow an enhanced user experience.
There’s loads of frameworks out there: SPRY, DOJO, Mootoo e.t.c. If a community could be formulated to have everyone come together and collaborate, this would be the utopian way of advancing the technology.
First thing to do. Introduce the term “Unobtrusive Javascript” to ajax folks. Nobody in microsoft seems to have heard of it despite the world and it’s mother embracing it wholeheartedly. I know you can bring them round.
Seems great.
You did a great contribution for the community on Asp Net MVC.
Hi stephen great news about joining the Ajax team, do you think that there will be a push for using the mvc pattern with the Ajax Client library?
Hello
Kudos on joining the ASP.NET AJAX Feature team! Does that explain your ‘being the first’ to announce the release of new ASP.NET AJAX controls during your tech.ed trip to Hyderabad?
Good, I am sure you will do a great job over there!!!!
Thanks for blog entires , they are really very informative..
Thanks,
Yash
Congratulation Stephen in your new assignment. I am looking forward to your ASP.NET AJAX blog and more tutorials which greatly helps the developer community.
sorry I don’t know!I from china(我来自中国)I con’t speak English
@Mukhtar: such a community exists: http://www.openajax.org. Microsoft is a member.
Congrats from Chile
go go go!
does this mean MVC dead?
Who is going to be the MVC guru then??
Congratulations! ASP.NET AJAX Feature Team is a cool team, and lead our developers to cool features and UX.
Congrats
All the best for your future endeavours. Will read your blog.
Thanks,
Thani
@Bertand: Thanks! I had no idea how far the standardisation of the technology had become. AJAX definitely is the way to go and now that Stephen has ‘joined the club’ I’m sure there’s going to be even greater developments soon.
I liked the posts on your site as well
@bman — There is a new MVC guru coming to the ASP.NET community team — but I’ll let that be a surprise.
Congratulations! All the best with your new role.
I do not care what you or someone else does with your life. All I care about is that you do a good job in making my job easier and highly productive. The focus is on me, not you. So, if you joining something does this better, then great. If not, then there is a problem you urgently need to fix. The finger to all those offended by this.
Hmmmmph. Well, single digits to you too, Mr. Crabby-Pants.
hi
So I guess you are going to update the banner image on top to be “Stephen Walther on ASP.NET AJAX” instead of MVC
Thanks for all your previous posts on MVC. You helped me get up to speed quickly when I first picked up MVC.
Congrats on your move to the AJAX team!
When is your MVC Unleashed book comming out is it going to be as usefull as ASP.NET Unleashed
I can tak any on of your examples and tweek it around to work on my projects I haven’t quite read it from front to back yet but allmost Great Piece of work and I’m looking forward to MVC Unleashed Thanks and I’m glad your going into Ajax because ther are a number of things that could be made clearer
I like to join this community and want to learn about the update of every ajax file.
Congratulations on the new role, I hope you enjoy it. You’ve dome some great work surrounding MVC so I’m looking forward to you bringing the same enthusiasm into ASP.NET AJAX.
Personally, what I’d like to see from ASP.Net AJAX in the future is a greater focus on performance and… lightweightness (I realise that isn’t a word
). I think, currently, ASP.Net AJAX shows lots of potential but is a little bloated in some areas. As performance is hugely important in my role, I tend to favour other js frameworks/libraries such as jquery. But then, of course, I lose the close coupling between my server-side code and my client-side code. I was very pleased to hear about the colaboration between between Microsoft and jquery. I hope that continues and I’d love to see the two libraries become even more closely integrated.
All the best.
Hi Mr. Stephen, How are you? I hope you are fine, I’m the one who met you on the first day of Microsoft TECH Ed.’09 india while you were having some nice coffee during mornin brek fast hr, Really had a nice chat with u and attended your seminar, Really you are amazing techy geek, I was impressed by your seminar on ASP.NET 4.0 & MVC, Had a great experience with you, Even i posted both of our pics which were captured during morning hr.
Please visit the below link:

My personal site URL: http://www.venumanthena.com
Can i have your contact e-mail address, plz
Mr. Walther,
Best of luck in your new assignment.
Will you still be working for the GU ?
Your MVC tips, how-to videos and upcoming MVC
Unleashed book are much appreciated.
Thanks
Best of luck Walther.
Congrats to you Stephen. Is there a date on the MVC Unleashed book?
Looking forward to seeing your work!
Hi Stephen,
Tried to contact you, but contact form on this site does not work.
Thanks,
Ray.
best of luck
I just LOVE how developers come out of the wood works with whatever they are most interested in, claiming the world to have wholeheartedly embraced such and such.
Assumptions are the plague on innovation.
I’m looking at you Brian…

AND
While you’re rightly oriented Green Williams, you’re a smacktard commentator. Take that digit and place it squarely…
Looking forward for better…. AJAX enables web
Looking forward to some great features Mr.PM!
Nice summary, even if they included all you ask I bet you will not turn your back on jQuery, jq will always be 5 steps ahead even if MS ploughed phil haacked and hansleman onto the project. I wish they would just embrace and use jQuery instead of trying to copy it, why re-invent the wheel just seems such a waste of time and effort, must be deflating coming into work to try and replicate jQuery but know your not going to do it as well!
Congratulations Stephen. Looking forward to see your great posts.
Great Stephen! I think your excitement gives me a boost to learn more about AJAX from you.
Congrats. I am waiting to see your excellent post.
Congratulations!..it is veryo nice
Congrats stephen,
