Why all the server hits?

[Todd Bandrowsky]

It seems like ASP.NET and Visual Studio.NET have a ravenous desire to
keep banging on the server for everything. Granted, it makes it pretty
easy to do this, but, why keep banging on the server so much for stuff
that could be better done in Java Script?

Then, you have all these games with QueryString and PostBack and when
you have values in your controls and when you don't. And then you
have to have an actual page associated with everything you do no
matter what...

This is worse than MFC!

ASP.NET is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool.
It is geared toward getting the job done quickly without requiring the
developer to know oodles about web site development. It does this job well.
There are all kinds of ways that ASP.NET web pages can be optimized by more
experienced developers.
