Atlas
Atlas est un framework permettant le développement d'applications web.
This new Web development technology from Microsoft integrates client script libraries with the ASP.NET 2.0 server-based development framework. In addition, 'Atlas' offers you the same type of development platform for client-based Web pages that ASP.NET offers for server-based pages. And because 'Atlas' is an extension of ASP.NET, it is fully integrated with server-based services. “Atlas” makes it possible to easily take advantage of AJAX techniques on the Web and enables you to create ASP.NET pages with a rich, responsive UI and server communication. However, "Atlas" isn’t just for ASP.NET. You can take advantage of the rich client framework to easily build client-centric Web applications that integrate with any backend data provider.

Atlas Goals
1: Create a high-productivity platform for AJAX-style browser applications
- Script component model and UI framework for browser-based web applications
- Rich suite of components, controls, and behaviors for common scenarios
- Easy access to services and data from the web
2: Seamlessly integrate with the Microsoft platform and application model
- Fully integrated with ASP.NET and IIS application model
- Easily leverages services and components hosted in ASP.NET
- Connects to and enhances server platforms such as Sharepoint
3: Enable world-class tools for AJAX-style application development
- Rich toolset for script development
- Integrated with web authoring tools for developers including Visual Web Developer / Visual Studio 2005 and designers Expression Web Designer
4: Deliver ubiquitous reach with friction-free deployment and administration
- Works on a wide variety of browsers and platforms, with no client code deployment
- Based on existing standards – DHTML, JScript, XMLHttp, CSS, etc.
Server Features
"Atlas" also integrates client scripting with ASP.NET server-side development, so you can handle application tasks wherever it makes the most sense. ASP.NET provides the following server-side features for "Atlas" applications: - Web services that are useful to integrate with "Atlas" applications, such as a profiles service. - ASP.NET Web server controls that automatically emit all the client script needed for 'Atlas' applications, so you do not need to write JavaScript code. - Integrated Visual Studio development tools for client-side development, which gives you debugging, statement completion, and other productivity-enhancing features.
Client Features
For client-side development, "Atlas" manages the complexity of JavaScript-based development and offers the following development features:
- A consistent, object-oriented set of APIs for developing in JavaScript. You can create client code using OOP features that are familiar from working with the .NET Framework.
- Automatic browser compatibility, so that no special coding is required to make your applications run in multiple browsers.
- Client-script APIs and components that support rich UI features, such as drag and drop. You can add these features to HTML controls with little or no coding.
- A declarative model for client development that is similar to the declarative syntax for ASP.NET server controls.
