Re: newbie question

Thank you for your response.

I find that most of my time learning new stuff is wasted on searching for
the right info.. and digging through 80% or more of useless chatter around
it, yet having to read it all to know what is chatter and what is not.

If you're a good programmer, you can make applications robust and scalable
without the .NET framework. But since .NET is advertised well and clueless
customers want it, I'm pretty much forced to swallow this new technology
which is yet again another wrapper around all these microsoft technologies,
that I frankly dislike. One reason why I never liked VB. To much behind the
screen wiring.

Anyway, I should be able to develop something within 1 month, and maybe fine
tune things later.. doing the project will be like following a tutorial,
where I have to search the net for clues as to how to take the next step.
Best way to learn.. But pretty stressful when you have a deadline too.

Away from my petty life, back to ASP.NET, you mention "event driven model"..
I'm sure all this info is available on the net, but like I said, 80% of my
time is wasted on searching for it, so this helps me alot..


Question:
How should I understand event driven model in web applications? on client
side, javascript can handle some events, everything else is usually done via
form POST and parsing on the server side, using ASP, PHP or whatever.
Do events on the client side get sent to the server? Via HTTP messages, or
via DCOM bloat?



I've found so many sources dealing with ASP.NET but none that just explain
some of the basics of what ASP.NET is really all about. I've read upon some
..NET stuff, and it seems little more than a thin wrapper around windows APIs
to handle some garbage collection and such.. (to use api's you have to
write your own wrappers sometimes.. reminds me of VB, where to do anything
useful, required you to import half the windows api's.. so then why not use
VC++ instead, I always wondered).
