Session state has nothing to do with the ASP.NET client-side library.
SessionState is maintained via cookies (in a default configuration). There's
no javascript involvement.

I'm not a guru either. You can certainly write stuff that doesn't rely on the
client-side javascript (i.e. avoiding the postbacks) if you're just doing
something simple (and avoid using the BCL web controls), but if you are using
web controls, then you'll probably need to wire up everything yourself.
