This 75 minute podcast covers web remoting concepts and the following specific patterns:

  • XMLHttpRequest Call Use XMLHttpRequest objects for browser-server communication. (05:00)

    Just wanted to say that I love your show. Very informative for someone like me who doesn’t have enough hours in the day to keep up with all the latest re: AJAX and similar things. I’m on the road an hour every day and with your show I can fill that time doing something productive and interesting. Keep up the great work.

    Thanks for these - it has been really helpful in getting started.
    One question if I may (possibly very dumb), you mention a “gottcha” in this podcast (about the 24 minute mark to be exact) whereby when remoting using web services, you may need to change the Content-Type to text/html. Any idea how you actually do this (change this setting), with a .Net web service (or in Visual Studio 2005)?
