ASP.Net 2.0 Up Close and Personal 2

The afternoon was learning more about ASP.Net 2.O and things coming in the future. The big news here is Atlas. Still in a beta stage but they hope to release before the end of the year. Atlas has a couple of components. The simplest way to use it is the updatable panel. This will catch postbacks and convert them to more efficient callbacks. There is also a complete client side framework that is part of Atlas and this holds some interesting alternatives for programming the client. It all compiles down to JavaScript but if it saves having to learn a new language its got to help

The biggest challenge for me is going to be persuading someone to use 2.0 rather than 1.0
