Gaia Ajax training - two new courses in Oslo, Norway (Early Bird Extended to 20th of September)

by Stian Solberg 3. September 2009 09:00

Gaia Ajax is a powerful web platform for both complex enterprise applications and fast-up-and-running web sites. In many ways Gaia Ajax completes what many developers are missing on the ASP.NET platform both in regards to how easy it should be to create a rich and responsive web experience, but also how to unleash the highest productivity in your daily development. Our customers say they increase their productivity by 30-60% when developing with Gaia compared to other approaches towards web development.

We're happy to announce two brand new courses this year. Based on the feedback we have received, we have split the courses into two different levels: Introduction to Gaia Ajax and Advanced Ajax development with Gaia Ajax. Each course goes over two days.

What's next with Gaia Ajax: You decide!

by Stian Solberg 8. March 2009 14:00

Our goal with Gaia Ajax is to revolutionize the way you build web applications. To accomplish this goal, Gaia needs to be both simple to use and solve complex demands.

The point: you as a developer is our most important voice to tell us about our missing puzzle part.

Now we are conducting a survey to evaluate your impression and to set the road map for the future for Gaia. This is your chance to tell us what you like/dislike and what's important/unimportant. And not least: what features you would see in upcoming versions.

It takes a few minutes, and all participating will have a chance to win a one year subscription of Gaia Ajax (value: $595).

Creating an Ordered Ajax ListControl in C# with Gaia

by Jan Blomquist 2. February 2009 15:49
In this tutorial we shall demonstrate how easy it is to create a reusable Ordered ListControl in Gaia Ajax. We will also use generics so that it applies to all ListControls like ListBox, DropDownList, CheckBoxList, RadioButtonList, etc. And because Gaia Ajax is a server side Ajax framework we're going to write the control in C#. The control can be used from any .NET managed language. As one of our users pointed out: Gaia is the "Chuck Norris of Ajax Frameworks for ASP.NET" Cool


First off, let's declare our OrderedListControl
public class OrderedListControl<T> : Control 
where T: System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListControl, new() {}
