In Part I of this two part screencast, Microsoft Federal Developer Evangelist Marc Schweigert demonstrates the basic concepts used build a mashup application using the Virtual Earth map control and AJAX style programming.  In Part II, we’ll build the same solution using ASP.NET “Atlas.”

This screencast was inspired by various tutorials and walkthroughs from the following:

I just noticed this question in the comments section my post about this screencast on our team blog.  I thought it might be valuable to share with those who find this screencast through other means than the blog.

Question:
"I've already worked on this kind of development, and i'm impressed with Visual Studio JavaScript debugging facilities...
Is it standard with Visual Studio 2005?"

Answer:
"Yes.  It's a little known feature of Visual Studio / IE.  It is not enabled by default.  Just go to Tools->Internet Options (in IE).  Then go to the Advanced tab.  Make sure both "Disable Script Debugging" checkboxes are unchecked.  Now set a breakpoint in your JavaScript.  You should now have JavaScript debugging enabled.  It definitely makes JavaScript programming a little more productive ."
