Caching AJAX Content
If you have ever browsed to a web site or built a site with AJAX you might have seen some cool features such as pop-ups, context-sensitive search boxes, and all the other cool controls you find in the AJAX Toolkit. However try browsing to that site over an air card or a 3G connection or even worse dial-up, unfortunately there are some still suffering this pain :(, you will quickly notice that the niceties you get with AJAX quickly become a hindrance and annoying sometimes preventing you from getting to where you want to do. Well today I stumbled upon an article on ScottGu’s blog that might help. It is the latest release from the ASP.Net Team “Microsoft AJAX CDN”. At quick glance I was wondering if this meant AJAX Canadian, just my dyslexia mixing with the world of acronyms. Anyway, Microsoft AJAX CDN will allow you to perform caching of content via “edge servers” allowing you to serve content faster. If you have an Microsoft AJAX enabled site, then this is worth a look.
