Atlas and Microsoft Expression

I've been hearing the buzz of new technology. Web technology has come a long way in the past few of years. I'm sure everyone has heard about Ajax and how the XMLHttpRequest object has allowed web developers to create rich Internet applications.

Microsoft has also started their own project that will work with Ajax called 'Atlas'. Any web developer out there knows that JavaScript is handled different across browsers. Hopefully projects like this help set some standards when it comes to JavaScript and cross browser development.

Microsoft is also releasing a web designer tool called Expression. If you're feeling adventurous you can check out Microsoft Expression Web Designer Community Technology Preview. Also if you check out MSDN you'll find that on August 29th there is a webcast about Expression Web Designer.

New technology is great. I can only hope that these new technologies help our society advance.
