Microsoft readies Atlas Web development framework

Microsoft at its annual Professional Developers Conference in September will debut a new object-oriented framework aimed at simplifying the development of client-side browser applications.
The new framework, code-named Atlas, combines technology available in previous versions of Internet Explorer that allowed Web-page updates to run in the background, rather than making continuous calls to the server to refresh a page, said Charles Fitzgerald, general manager of the platform strategy group at Microsoft.
