MS Atlas

I figured this section could use a non-homework related thread

To the other software engineers on this board: Does your company currently use or plan to use Atlas in the near future?

We are a Microsoft shop and have been developing web apps with atlas since it hit beta. We're extremely happy with the results. I just wanted to see if anyone else around here is using it.

For those that don't know, Atlas is MS's AJAX solution for ASP.NET. Most of it is done out of the box, it's quite simple to get setup and works very well. The only issues we've had is getting it to jive with older 3rd party web controls (infragistics, telerik et all).

More info can be found here if anyone is interested. I highly recommend watching the "scott's todo list" video. It shows how easy AJAX development is with ASP.NET.

Note: Please don't turn this thread into a MS vs. * thread. I'm just curious about other company's/individuals use of this technology <3

Never heard of it, does the AJAX it spews out work on Firefox?

Yup. It was just officially released and is no longer called Atlas. It is now just a built-in part of the .NET framework.

The company I work for does not use Microsoft's AJAX solution :| I have not heard of any plan to adopt it either.

I'm not a software engineer but I work very closely with the devs at my company to have a good understanding of the code and what they use....

[I am an Infastructure Quality Engineer.. IE Serverside Security, Exploits, Vulnerabilites, Configuration, Load Testing... etc]

Infagistics is the spawn of the devil....
