I will be speaking in a couple weeks at the Silicon Valley Code Camp in Los Altos, California on November 9th. The camp is both Saturday and Sunday. There are almost 13 sessions every 90 minutes so come out and enjoy lots of topics. My particular session is on High Performance ASP.NET Web Sites. I’ll talk about not only ASP.NET, but also, a lot of the concepts I’ll be discussing are more general in nature and apply to all web sites.

That may be true on a normal page on a slow connection, but if you are testing locally, it may not be so obvious. You can certainly crank up your debugging tools like firebug or Fiddler, or you can do the cheap trip about I’m about to explain.
Simply, add a sleep statement to your page_load event (Thread.Sleep(3000);) and run your page. If you are using IE7 like I am, on the post back (for a full page), you will see the windows icon spinning in the tab control. If you see that, you are getting a full page post back. If not, chances are you are not.
Hope this helps!
I’ve been working on a project lately that requires a lot of JavaScript, and if any of you are like me, you’ve had trouble learning the language well. Over the years, I’ve taken several runs at it but have not been successful. Sure, I could always to basic stuff, but it seemed that when ever I need to do anything useful, I just could not figure it out. Well, times have changed. Mostly based on my need to know the language, I am really starting to feel good about the language. I’m understanding scoping, I can throw functions and arrays around as well as actually do useful stuff.
