Atlas... AJAX Implementation for ASP.NET

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat allah wa barakatoh

" “Atlas” is a free framework for building a new generation of richer, more interactive, highly personalized cross-browser web applications "

If u went here Atlas (http://atlas.asp.net), yould would probably find the above statment the first words about Atlas..

So what is Atlas ?
As my subject says.. it's AJAX implementation for ASP.NET..

What is the benifit ?
Do u enjoy writing JavaScript ? sure not, that's why they made this implemenation..

How come ?
1- U can check this video (Download Here)
2- U can download some samples (Toolkit)

I liked the idea of theri implementation..
basiclly it didn't change anything in ur existing code.. u just make ur project using the "Old" postback methodology.. then after finishing, u can add few lines.. like this:


this would generate some JavaScript that would make this part of the page updatable.. that is can be updated without post back..

It's so simple so powerful so tidy so neat...
BTW, I've heared the Atlas name from an interviewer in SilverKey..

Enjoy your time nobody...

Windows7 adds Math Input Panel

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh… I was reading a windows team post about Input Panels improvements in Windows7 [ here ]. When at the end I saw a very interesting –intuitive if you wish- new thing… which is, as you guessed, the Math Input Panel… Yes, that crappy font is mine… I “drew” that by mouse as I don’t have a tablet pen/pc. You can then paste it directly into word and it’ll recognize it as an editable equation… During my tests, the output panel (the top part) hanged, but I liked that the drawing panel was still responsive and I could still write/erase… till the top one started to respond again… One other thing to know, after you click Insert (that button down there) it copies the equation in MathML [ Wikipedia link ] format.. which is a standard way of representing equations and hence any application that recognizes the format can insert it not as an image but as a nice editable equation… If you think it recognized something wrong, you can click “Sele...

What do you do? and how do you do it?

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh I've remembered these two questions a couple of minutes ago, they were mentioned in a movie called "The Pursuit of Happyness" and as you see Happyness is written intentionally with 'y' but that's another story! The scene was that the hero who was a depressed poor guy was walking in the street then found a guy parking his very nice & expensive car, he stopped him and asked him "may I as you two questions..." "What do you do? and how do you do it?" Away from the scene and how things went on in the movie, the question that came to me was why don't I ask myself the same questions.. it's not that I'm successful or something but my point is to try to analyze what "were" my goals during my past life... and what did I do to reach the state I am in now -fail/success/progress...- I believe what brought this to my mind is watching -again- Steve Jobs's motivational speech when h...

Question Google Chrome Process Isolation Model..

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh Google once published this comics book about Google chrome (their Open Source Web Browser) I've linked to one page that I'm concerning about for now... Page 4, Google Chrome Comics Book It explains that Chrome will have separate process per tab, away from the benefits/concerns about this... I was accidently checking chrome's task manager (Shift + Esc) and found something that -apparently- violates this rule... As you see, tab1 process has actually spanned 3 tabs... which is a similar behavior to what IE8 does... I'm not quite sure why this happens in Chrome... but it's just a question to ask... Thanks, Haytham
