I have decided that since a big portion of my time is programming AJAX-driven web pages, my first real blog here on DevPaper should be about the XMLHttpRequest object in JavaScript.

I’d like to take a moment to welcome everyone who is reading this. The goal of DevPaper.NET is to give programmers a different look at how things are done. I have been programming for about 7 years and professionally for about 3. I won’t ever claim that my way is the only way to program and I highly encourage user feedback on topics.The main focus of this blog is the .NET technologies, but it is by no means limited to it. I got my start in Visual Basic 6, picked up Visual Basic .NET and soon moved to C# .NET, but I have since learned JavaScript, CSS, Java and a variety of other languages.
I will give a mini warning and let everyone know that I am a huge fan of the AJAX technology, but I don’t ever use ASP.NET controls for it. I like to create all of my AJAX front-end with JavaScript and use ASP.NET as my backend support for it. If I post blogs on AJAX and you know of a more efficient way to do this with ASP.NET, then by all means, go ahead and post it 
Thank you for taking an interest in DevPaper.NET and I hope that together, my readers and I can turn this site into something spectacular!
