The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asp.net\/ajax\/\">ASP.NET AJAX<\/a> framework was so easy to use because of the pre-built controls provided by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asp.net\/ajax\/ajaxcontroltoolkit\/\">Ajax Control Toolkit<\/a> team. I had very few occasions where I needed to write some JavaScript code in the applications.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>But when there were some advance pieces of code which demanded some JavaScript, I realized how much of JavaScript can be reused&#8230; and how handy it would be to use a JavaScript library for that purpose.<\/p>\n<p>When I stumbled on this great JavaScript library called <a href=\"http:\/\/jquery.com\/\">jQuery<\/a>, I was skeptical because of its size&#8230; just played around some sites to explore animations and other functionalities that this library offers. But I never used it&#8230; sticking to what Microsoft offers through the ASP.NET Ajax framework.<\/p>\n<p>And now I&#8217;m really excited to know that Microsoft and Nokia are adopting jQuery as part of their official application development platform. This shows the real power of jQuery. And what I am really excited about is the javascript intellisense support for jQuery that Microsoft will provide through Visual Studio!<\/p>\n<p>Here are the posts of this great news from my favourite industry experts on the subject:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/weblogs.asp.net\/scottgu\/archive\/2008\/09\/28\/jquery-and-microsoft.aspx\">Scott Guthrie on jQuery and Microsoft<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hanselman.com\/blog\/jQuerytoshipwithASPNETMVCandVisualStudio.aspx\">Scott Hanselman on the same subject<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can read the jQuery team&#8217;s announcement <a href=\"http:\/\/jquery.com\/blog\/2008\/09\/28\/jquery-microsoft-nokia\/\">here<\/a>.
