Back on Blogger

So there are all these blogs out there on various topics written by people with the intention of helping others. That's not my aim. I plan to use this as an open place to think, and if you find that the links are useful, then have at them..

I did want to say that I was recently inspired by the programming “Jedi” behind AnAppaDay.com. His new dedicated website is thesoftwarejedi.com

I am starting on AJAX on .net 2.0 at work this week, so I'll be going through the books on torrent sites, and working my way through I'm sure somewhere around 20 intro apps. We're integrating with Google maps, but the guys started writing logic without following up with some AJAX to keep the map “alive” after the logic is applied. I think its mainly markers, maybe directions right now. I think eventually the plan is to display full routes with actual routes taken (recorded via GPS) overlaid. So, this should be an interesting project to work on.

So for starters, here are my links that I’m checking out right now:

ASP.Net Ajax -- Atlas

Google maps API -- Get API key
