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."

    Just for the record, ASP and ASP.NET are two very different things.

    "ASP" and "development" really don't fall into the same sentence. It's almost like "Volkswagen" and "driving" - you can do it, but people will be pointing fingers at you, laughing.
