Code Example |
In the section titled "A First Atlas Example: Hello User" I was unable to get the
page to work till I added the following "services" tag in the "9780596526726ScriptManager"
tag:
<9780596526726:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
<services>
<9780596526726:servicereference path="~/WebService.asmx" />
</services>
</9780596526726:ScriptManager>
I also took out the following line:
<DEFANGED_script language="JavaScript"type="text/javascript"
src="WebService.asmx/js">
</script>
I understand that this is a "rough cuts", but it was very frustrating to not be able
to run the first example. Other than that, I've enjoyed the reading so far.

First Altas Example |
The whole language changed on you. The instructions in what is now AJAX Web Extensions
for .NET has changed dramatically since this book was written.
The Hello User example won't work with the latest versions.
The instructions result in an error "Only types with a [ScriptService] attribute can
be called as a web service. "
And all the tags have changed from <9780596526726: to <asp:.

Chapter 4, page 65, third row |
"The effects that Atlas lets you create are possibile without Atlas".
Well, I believe the second "Atlas" is instead an "Ajax".

This book is *completely* out of date, despite only being a few months old! I'm only on
chapter 4 but the topic of discussion is the Sys.UI.Window namespace
followed by Atlas impllementations of DOM nodes such as Sys.UI.Label, Sys.UI.image,
Sys.UI.HyperLink, Sys.UI.Button etc.
These entire namespaces have been dropped from Atlas (now ASP.NET AJAX 1 Beta 2).
Since these missing controls are absolutely fundamental building blocks of any
application I see no alternative other than to "bin the book".

The binding.transform.add call |
binding.transform.add(Sys.Binding.Transformers.ToString);
gives the following error:
Error: 'Sys.Binding.Transformers.ToString' is null or not an object
I changed the call to:
binding.transform.add(Sys.BindingBase.Transformers.ToString);
