What 'Atlas' Offers

The primary goal of 'Atlas' is to integrate client script features with the features of ASP.NET on the server to provide a comprehensive development platform.

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 behavior. 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.

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.
