Chapter 1: AJAX and ASP.NET

"Computer, draw a robot!" said my young cousin to the first computer he had ever seen. (Since I had instructed it not to listen to strangers, the computer wasn't receptive to this command.) If you're like me, your first thought would be "how silly" or "how funny"—but this is a mistake. We're being educated to accommodate computers, to compensate for the lack of ability of computers to understand humans, but in an ideal world that spoken command should have been enough to have the computer please my cousin.
