Developing an Ajax based application with minimal JavaScript coding is possible with the use of VS 2005, ASP.NET and a simple but powerful library called Anthem.NET. This open source library might not be popular but it has been given a pretty good ranking as it provides any developer the ability to build an Ajax based website without using too much Ajax. As you may have already noticed, it uses a lot of frameworks and software development tools to compensate with the minimal use of JavaScript. To use Anthem.NET you need to fire it up first in ASP.NET. Basically, you will just have to use the libraries DLL as a reference point to make it work. It is really simple at first glance but apparently Antem.NET�s DLL is not precompiled first. Make sure that you compile the project carefully as the DLL could get extracted in different places.
