I’m speaking again next week at the Portland Area DotNet User Group (PadNug) on Wednesday the 30^th of August. The topic this time around is:

Taking ATLAS for a Ride

This session presents ATLAS, Microsoft's new client side/AJAX extension for ASP.NET slanted for release as an Add-on for ASP.NET 2.0 later this year. ATLAS introduces a rich framework for remote scripting with a wide variety of tools and approaches available to build rich client applications. In this session he'll overview the features available in the framework and show business oriented examples of how to utilize the various features. We'll look at the server centric approach with ATLAS Server controls like UpdatePanel, and a client centric approach relying on core ATLAS network features and the client side ATLAS framework and contrast the two approaches..

This is the same session I did at Portland CodeCamp, but the CodeCamp session got a little derailed by audience interaction and a lot of Q & A so I didn’t have that much time to dig into the examples. The examples I provide are varied and they show off a number of different approaches that you can use with ATLAS to integrate AJAX functionality into your ASP.NET applications.

The Portland .NET group meets in Beaverton and it’s free, so if you’re in the Portland area, stop by…
