Atlas is Microsoft's version of AJAX. AJAX stands for Asynchronous Javascript and XML. AJAX
is used to make a web page become much more dynamic – allowing the screen to be updated on the fly without the user having to press the enter key.

Microsoft has produced several webcasts that provide an excellent introduction to Atlas. Here are a couple of the best:

MSDN Webcast: ASP.NET Code-Named "Atlas" Novice to Pro: AJAX Components (Level 200)

Get an in-depth look at the components and parts that make Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) work. In this webcast, learn about the structure, syntax, and use of the XmlHttpRequest object, the Document Object Model (DOM), and JavaScript. We examine how these pieces fit together to enable the client application experience. This session provides a foundation for further webcasts on AJAX and ASP.NET code-named "Atlas."
