So if you're scratching your head and wondering what AJAX and Atlas has to do with you, I'm curious to know what it is that you feel you need to learn. There are no wrong answers.

Is Atlas for people who want to do DHTML without learning DHTML or Javascript?
Much like how ASP.NET was written for VB Forms people who didn't want to learn HTML? Is it really going to be that hands off of scripting?
What is so different about Atlas/AJAX compared to DHTML/CSS/XMLHTTP/XML?
I have only spent limited time looking into Atlas and AJAX but it appears that it is just the formalization of the above technologies. Does it solve the issue of browser support and consistency, does it solve the back/forward button problem? Does it solve the normal HTML issue of elements that are just not robust enough?
Maybe I need to look into this some more but I just don't see what the hype is about.
Everything, just pulled the covers off ATLAS today... That being said, Intro's, yet astute for seasoned programmers, if that makes sense... (seasoned meaning 10 years, but by some that would constitute one up from a noob).
