I just viewed the video of a demonstration on how to create a simple to-do list in ASP.net and then Ajaxify it using the .net ajax plugin called Atlas.
You can view the video yourself here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/5/8/85803fdd-fe9a-4783-ab37-e0c565172ffd/asp_net_atlas.wmv
The interesting thing about this video is not that you can easily take an existing .net application and extend it to use Ajax like features, but how long it takes.. in this case the video is just over 18 minutes long. Now, the thing to remember, the person who is doing the programming is probably very experienced with his platform and tools, and is very organized and prepared for the demo. While viewing the video, I thought.. "I wonder how long it would take to create the same application in Rails?" View the video posted by Microsoft above, then view my video.
