Atlas: AJAX for .NET from Microsoft

Published Tue, Jun 28 2005 7:32 AM
While everybody hoped Microsoft would build some AJAX-support in .NET 2.0, it has come clear that it won't. But Microsoft did announce Atlas, a framework that utilizes javascript in the browser to create dynamic experiences. A preview will be shown at the PDC later this year. Details can be found here on Scott Guthries blog. Promising stuff. I have used Ajax in a small solution recently and was impressed by it's power.

This kinda looks cool! For who is interested, someone mentioned this url, http://www.dojotoolkit.org in his comment. Its about asynchronous calls and usability like using the back-button in a asynchronous world.

Shame we have to wait so long for Atlas...*grin*
