ASP.Net, Ajax, JQuery, Web Services - Great tools, but wait…

All of us or most of us heard that Microsoft is supporting JQuery. And now we have a host of bloggers blogging on how to use JQuery with ASP.Net. Everything sounds and looks fantastic. But wait, give it a second thought.
I don’t want to specify any one person’s blog or article so I am not giving out the URL. On a certain blog I read how to send a email using asp.net webservice and jquery. Unfortunately, we are exposing the URL of the Web Service and just write a simple program and start pumping out emails.
I am just trying to warn you guys, just because something can be done using client side javascript or because something looks cool, don’t jump on to it. Think about the security and what information you are exposing in the client side code.
JQuery is a great javascript library in fact I love it, I used it even before Microsoft anounced its support, I like the library, but please don’t misuse it.

Why didnt I come across jQuery early ?
Saturday, July 26th, 2008Why didnt I come across JQuery early ?
I was recently very busy with a lot of work and did not have the chance to post on my blog. But during this period I came across a very powerful javascript library called jQuery. Its just fantastic. For the bulk of features it has you may expect a monster javascript library, but it is just 16kb (minified and gzipped). So thats hardly a 2 second overhead for end user. It eases DOM Traversal, Animations, events and AJAX. I came across this library almost 3 weeks back. And everytime I explored more features of this library, I am becoming more interested in this. I would rate this 10/10. What are you waiting for ? Checkout this cool library at jQuery. BTW did I mention it has plugin support and has a huge collection of plugins ? Checkout the plugins at Plugins.
