The Western Mass .NET Users Group is hosting its next monthly meeting on
Thursday, October 2nd at 6:00 PM at the MassMutual Learning Center in
Chicopee, MA.  Free pizza, drinks and dessert will be provided
compliments of MassMutual.  Please note this is a THURSDAY instead of
our regular day (Tuesday) - directions are below.

Presentation Abstract: 

This session will focus on "rolling your own" AJAX to improve web
application performance.  We will take a look at the Update Panel
control, then we will uncover its shortcomings and we will discuss (and
demonstrate) how to most efficiently code your own AJAX using ASP.NET
AJAX without the Update Panel.    This session will be 100% in Visual
Studio - no slides, all code.  You will learn how to get ASP.NET AJAX
working with Windows Communication Foundation (WCF).
