If you are new to Ajax and Atlas...

then you have to watch this video. I know, I know, old news, but I just watched it and I'm in awe with Atlas simplicity (something amazing, given that I'm actually a smart client fan). The first 12 minutes or so, it's pretty much your standard data-driven ASP.NET site demo, hang on because then it abruptly switches to *injecting* Atlas controls in the site, effectively Ajax-enabling it, and things get quickly interesting. As usual, Scott is generous and gives us the script for the demo complete with screen pics, so after watching the video you can repeat it at your own pace. Boy, I'm going to surprise the audience at tomorrow's Quito MSDN Tour!
