Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX v1.0 Beta
First Microsoft's offering was called "Comet", a play off the household cleanser that competes with "Ajax".
Then it was called "Atlas", a play off the names of competing Greek heroes.
Now Microsoft has jumped onto the AJAX bandwagon big with their formal announcement of
ASP.NET AJAX.
Like the
Google Web Toolkit (GWT)
and
Morfik WebOX AppsBuilder suite,
among other technologies that are evolving into this market space,
Microsoft's offering provides a variety of resources to help developers
create a "rich client side UI experience".
All of these share the notion that "the browser is the computer"
that the users prefer -- a notion made popular in the Web 2.0 developments of the
last couple of years.
