Many different efforts (HTML 5's canvas object, SVG, JavaScript performance advances, and hardware rendering) have converged in the past year to make it possible to build a sophisticated viewer that runs in a browser, with minimal support from a server. ImageGear for .NET still uses the server for things like reading PDF and JPEG 2000 images, but it does things like scaling, panning, and rotation in the browser so you end up with a very responsive application that places less burden on your server.
The software development industry is constantly pushing to do more with less development effort. The web is a significant step in that process, enabling you to easily build sophisticated applications that span the globe. Some of the nicest savings are that you do not need to create an installer (this is commonly referred to as a "zero footprint" application) and you can more easily target a wide variety of client platforms.
This is an exciting time in the application development world; change is in the air and the future looks brighter than ever. While change brings difficulties, in this case it also brings a wealth of options for businesses and software developers. One of the best of those options is ASP.NET development. The focus of this article is the latest version of our ASP.NET image viewing technology, which is included in version 17 of our ImageGear for .NET product.
