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 new 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 server every time new information
is downloaded). But at the moment, people developing with Ajax have to write
their code from the ground up, which is complex and time consuming.
The book guides you through a series of practical examples that demonstrate
the Atlas framework and available controls. After reading this book, you’ll
be able to compile a seamless Atlas-based application of your own!
- This book demystifies the Atlas technology and shows you how to work with
it.
- The first book dedicated to this revolutionary new technology.
- Written by an experienced .NET author in collaboration with the Atlas
development team.
