Microsoft Volta
January 4th, 2008Finally Microsoft Live Labs released Volta to world… I guess it happened in Nov 2007. I actually worked on VoltaUI part sometime in July. I don’t know if I can share what I worked on. I recommend you to check out Volta website and play with some of its libraries. It’s really cool project.
As official site says, Volta is:
The Volta technology preview is a developer toolset that enables you to build multi-tier web applications by applying familiar techniques and patterns. First, design and build your application as a .NET client application, then assign the portions of the application to run on the server and the client tiers late in the development process. The compiler creates cross-browser JavaScript for the client tier, web services for the server tier, and communication, serialization, synchronization, security, and other boilerplate code to tie the tiers together.
Developers can target either web browsers or the CLR as clients and Volta handles the complexities of tier-splitting for you. Volta comprises tools such as end-to-end profiling to make architectural refactoring and optimization simple and quick. In effect, Volta offers a best-effort experience in multiple environments without any changes to the application.
