In this episode Dave and James cover how to work with dynamic images and ajax. We cover how to use ASP.NET Http Handlers to return images and to control that through Ajax using jQuery.
A couple months ago I noticed that our authors were getting questions on twitter, comments, and in email about their series. Lots of the questions were easy to answer, but some of them were much more complicated and I thought about how cool it would be to answer these questions in video format. Now the first of those series are ready to launch, Dave Ward is ready to answer whatever questions you have through his new series Ask the Expert with Dave Ward.
The first episode is already live (where we answered a question about dynamic images and Ajax sent through email). New episodes will be based on the questions you submit and vote up at vote.tekpub.com.
Enjoy!

It’s my birthday on Friday and in the grand tradition of Hobbits I want to give a gift on my birthday instead of asking for a gift. So I am happy to announce that TekPub will be 100% free all day Friday, you will be able to stream any and all episodes as long as you have an account (accounts are free!). The festivities will start will start at 12:01 am EST and end at midnight.
Just like every party if things get too rowdy (like our servers start crashing) we might have to end things early… so show up early while the good beer is still around.
In addition to TekPub being free we are also going to run a contest on Twitter, since anyone can stream on Friday tweet a link to your favorite series or episode anytime during the day with the hashtag of #tekpub and on Saturday we will pick 3 of you to get free yearly subscriptions.
Also, to promote the party tweet today or tomorrow that TekPub is free on Friday and we will pick 3 of you as well to get free yearly subscriptions. (be sure to include the #tekpub hashtag)
Sample tweet:

Kevin covers the fundamentals of threading, taking a walk down Pi and how many digits he can evaluate before his computer blows up. Kevin then talks about Deadlocks and how to avoid them.
I’m currently editing/producing a new series from Kevin Hazzard which is ushering in our first “Advanced” series - if I can call it that. It’s entitled “Mastering Threading” and should be up by tomorrow….
In this episode I show you how to use helpers and extensions with Sinatra, setting up authentication, logging, and more.
