Learn how to deliver richer, more interactive web experiences to your users with ASP.NET "Atlas," Microsoft`s new framework for building Ajax-savvy web sites. Now Atlas brings the power of Ajax to ASP.NET 2.0 developers with controls, script libraries, and server support that deliver engaging results without the pain that writing complex JavaScript can entail.
Programming Atlas is not just another drag-and-drop ASP.NET 2.0 book; it dives into the technologies that make Ajax work. You`ll begin with a tour of the technologies most often associated with Ajax. With the fundamentals in place, author and JavaScript expert Christian Wenz unpacks the Atlas framework and shows you how to put its tools to work. You`ll learn to:
Understand the architecture of Atlas and the role played by server controls, such as ScriptManager and UpdatePanel
Build more interactive pages using controls and extenders to autocomplete text fields, validate user input, drag and drop controls, and much more
Bind, display, and update data without causing the entire page to refresh, and use the Atlas web services bridge to consume third-party services beyond the domain of your application
Incorporate Microsoft Virtual Earth into an application, use Atlas with Web Parts, and create a Windows Live Gadget
Use Atlas with PHP and explore other non-Microsoft Ajax tools for ASP.NET ISBN 9788184042085
