I was just browsing through the Ajaxian.com blog and noticed this post which talked about one of the issues known as the “back button” issue. Basically, what do you do when the user clicks on the back button in the browser? Naturally, the user expects to see the previous state of the page before they [...]

Here’s the actual presentation file: VDNUG_AjaxPresentation.ppt I’ll post the actual demos another time. Just a quick note, there’s a lot of links below. You could spend a long long time reading about it. If you’re interested in Atlas, do download the Hands On Labs and play around with it. There’s a lot there, and there’s [...]

From Andrew Coates’ blog: Aus-DotNet List moving Mail Servers I just spoke to Dr Pete (Stanski), who runs the Aus-DotNet mailing list and, as per his note to the list a couple of days ago, he’s moved the list to a new ISP and a new server. It seems like the propagation of the MX [...]

The announcement was that the two groups were finally merging into one single “Super” Group under the Victoria.NET Cluster. (Basically, they will be a sub-committee of Victoria.NET) I think this is pretty good news. [...]

It’s time for all Melbourne based .NET developers to turn up to this month’s Melbourne .NET User Groups (that’s MDNUG & AusDev) joint monthly user group meeting. This month, we’ll have the excellent Dr Pete (aka Dr Peter Stanski), [...]

Following on Michael Still’s lead, I decided to do a remix of the Tech Ed Flair as well. Ok, here’s my entry below… Was just something I whipped up quickly. Seriously though, how many Tech Eds can the Channel 9 guy get to in a year?

Just in case anyone missed it, this month’s User Group meeting for MDNUG/AusDev has been changed to tommorow, July 21st rather than the usual 4th Tuesday of every month.
