ASP.NET AJAX (ATLAS)

November 17th, 2007 Arsen Posted in Patterns - .NET |

Atlas is Microsoft’s in-progress AJAX project.

• ASP.NET Atlas is a package of new Web development technologies that integrates an extensive set of client script libraries with the rich, server-based development platform of ASP.NET 2.0.
• “With Atlas, you can take advantage of the best of ASP.NET and server-side code while doing much of the work in the browser, enabling a richer user experience.”
• Commercial (license terms unclear at time of writing) by Microsoft.
• Note that as of Beta 1, ASP.Net Ajax requires the assemblies to be deployed to the GAC. This may be an issue for shared hosting.
