Microsoft has been doing quite good on the Ajax world with its ASP.Net Ajax. ASP.NET Ajax is a pure client-side JavaScript library that enables us to build Ajax applications that works across browsers. By taking advantage of ASP.NET Ajax client controls and templates, we can build complex database-driven web applications that execute entirely in the browser.For more on ASP.Net Ajax, check here.
To add more value to its Ajax library, Microsoft is offering its Content Delivery Network (CDN) for free. Ajax CDN will cache the Ajax libraries and will significantly improve the performance of the web applications. It also contains certain other popular JavaScript libraries like JQuery, etc. Additionally, it enables browser to reuse the cached JavaScript files which were from different domain. For example, if we have a page opened (say, http://twitter.com) that uses JQuery. Now, when we try to open another page (say, http://facebook.com) which uses the same JQuery library, the browser will be looking for the cached JQuery file instead of fetching it again. CDNs are composed of edge cache servers placed at key Internet network points and the content will be delivered based on the location of the request.
