Another renaming for Atlas

Hmm, I hope the marketing guys of Microsoft aren't going to keep renaming Atlas. I already found it hard enough to not speak about Atlas anymore but of Microsoft AJAX. Seems it's renamed again. Read my former post about the renaming of Atlas.

Here's the new naming for the moment:

  • Microsoft AJAX Library:  The client-side Javascript library (i.e., all the .js files) that works with any browser and also supports any server-side framework, not just ASP.NET.
  • ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions: The server-side functionality that seamlessly integrates with ASP.NET and uses the same programming model familiar to existing ASP.NET developers.
  • ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit: The set of free, shared source controls and components that currently form the "Atlas" Control Toolkit community project hosted on CodePlex.
  • ASP.NET AJAX = Microsoft AJAX Library + ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions.

    Grz, Kris.

    Hi Kris,
    this is interesting. Do you know where I can find some details about this new renaming?

    Hi Garbin,

    you can find the name change in the following post: "Atlas" 1.0 Official Naming and Release Plan. The original post of Scott Guthrie seems to have been just updated to reflect the new name being ASP.NET AJAX.

    Grz, Kris.
