Ajax for .Net finally getting somewhere.

Posted Fri, Sep 9 2005 10:05 AM by Mischa Kroon

In evaluating Ruby on Rails I have seen a very beautifull Ajax implementation. At least from the programmers perspective.

No extra coding in javascript, easy and elegant to setup etc.
When looking at the .Net equivalent, it doesn't seem very elegant, nor portable not programmer friendly.

Now a roadmap of a Ajax alternative has reached my eyes and it looks good, the roadmap can be found here.

Some examples can be found here.

The developers for this project seem to be working together with the creator of ajax.net ( professional )
My hope is set on them :)

There is an Ajax-like feature built in ASP.NET version 2.0, but it is called "script callbacks". Check it out.

I have my hope set on Microsoft. Next week the ASP.NET team will present "Atlas". See Scott Guthrie's blog post: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2005/06/28/416185.aspx.

Both those implementations aren't looking very sexy to me.

Or at least I'm not seeing anything yet... but they don't really sound to promising.

Atlas does not sound promising??? Having a client-side framework for a set of controls for rich UI, such as auto-complete textboxes, popup panels, animation, and drag and drop sound pretty promising and sexy to me. And that is just one of the functionalities.

Sounds about the same as the framework im talking about in this post... but this will probably arrive a lot sooner then atlas.

Which will I take it be a part of Orcas.
