Microsoft’s integration of jQuery and Visual Studio/ASP.NET is significant and I wrote about it on the ITJobBlog. I’ve included some comments from Scott Guthrie about ASP.Net AJAX vs jQuery.
Miguel de Icaza, who works on open source versions of .NET, also says it is a “first time for Microsoft”.
Rick Strahl, who is an ASP.NET MVP and writes an excellent technical blog, says in a comment to Guthrie’s original post:
To me jQuery has easily the most game changing component in Web Development since ASP.NET originally was released.
It is a breakthrough; but note that it comes from the developer division, which is more inclined towards open source than other divisions running Windows and Office.
