Microsoft ships April Atlas CTP

ENT News | at | by Mike

Microsoft this week released the April Community Technology Preview of ASP.NET, code-named "Atlas." Atlas is an ASP.NET 2.0 framework for building cross-browser, cross-platform AJAX applications. The company announced with last month's CTP that it feels Atlas is stable enough to issue a "go-live license" that lets developers put their Atlas applications into production.

Atlas provides client-side script libraries that integrate with ASP.NET 2.0's server-based development framework and provides the same type of development platform for client-based Web pages that ASP.NET provides for server-based pages.
