Microsoft Releases Atlas

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the another-technology-to-ignore dept.

Jason Lind writes "Much earlier than anticipated, Microsoft announced the release of Atlas this afternoon at MIX 06. For those who don't know, Atlas is Microsoft's AJAX API for ASP.NET 2, which they claim will greatly reduce the effort in developing AJAX style applications on their platform."

    Best of all, ASP.NET pages work in all browsers - including Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Internet Explorer.

    Something from MS that works on MS competitors too? That's unusual. I mean, there's probably a catch in there somewhere, like with ActiveX.

    OK. Catalyst (MVC framework), Prototype, and Perl. Hundreds of times more functionality, and infinitely less expensive.

    Except java applets are crap with much more overhead and confined to a window within the browser view.
