Thank you!!!!

I needed something simple and easy to follow to get my hands around this.

I can't attend Mix this year - but I look forward to hearing what comes out of it.

Glad to see you are working with Scott Guthrie - I follow his blog as well.

Just fyi: what you have posted here goes a long way for me to understand how the Atlas framework will work.

Thanks again - fantastic!

Let me add one note:

Is there anyway to get intellisense for the Atlas javascript portions from within VS 2005?

In future releases will there be as much boilerplate code to be written, or will you be abstracting some of this away?

Thanks for your comments!

In order...

1) Yes,I'm glad to be working with Scott as well!

2) So, as I mentioned, we've got work to do for that Atlas/script tools story. And one part of this is getting Intellisense support in there, but I actually don't know what the current plan is. With Javascript being a late-bound (e.g. weakly typed) language, statement completion is really tough, because it's pretty hard to statically figure out what an object is in order to list it's operations. But there's some smart people running around and hopefully they'll improve that story.

3) Keep any eye out for a post I'll be doing today (hopefully) that addresses your question exactly. In sort, no you won't have to write all this code!
