This book introduces a fast-track path to understanding Atlas, and how this technology can increase the power and functionality of your code while conserving time and effort. The book begins with a bare-bones introduction that explains how Atlas relates to Ajax. Microsoft Atlas is a web-client framework that makes building Ajax-style applications easier. It provides a prewritten framework that gives you a structured environment in which to work. Atlas also provides you with an object model and standardized debugging to make development faster and simpler. Ajax is a way of combining a number of Web technologies including JavaScript, dynamic HTML, and a feature known as XMLHttp (which reduces the need for client browsers to constantly reconnect to the ...

Beginning Web Development, Silverlight, and ASP.NET AJAX: From Novice to Professional aims to give you the skills you need to start building web applications with Microsofts nextgeneration technology as quickly as possible. Whether youre interested in ASP.NET AJAX, Silverlight, or the technologies that support them (WPF, WCF, WF, etc.), this book is the starting point that you need. It adopts a zero to hero approach that concentrates on achieving practical results you can use in real projects rather than presenting a deep academic treatment that cant be immediately applied. The aim is to give you, the reader, the knowledge you need to achieve the results you want with the minimum of fuss. When youve read this book, youll have a solid understand of al...

Since the emergence of Google Maps, Ajax programming techniques have become one of the hottest topics in the programming arena. To date, the frameworks available for creating these applications have been complex and have separated the development of the clientside Ajax (on the users machine) from the serverside supporting technology (on the companys machines). This separation has made development slow and difficult. ASP.NET AJAX is Microsofts solution to this problem. ASP.NET AJAX (formerly codenamed Atlas) is a set of extensions to the existing ASP.NET 2.0 technology that provides you with a fast-and-simple environment to create Ajax applications. Microsoft has combined Ajax with ASP.NET technology and provided a unified set of development tools wit...
