If you aren't using Atlas yet or have been holding off on getting it installed for your 2.0 projects. Don't wait anymore! I spent less than 30 minutes getting up and running, creating a project and using one of the controls.

Now they don't take you through how to enable async postbacks in your codebehind like you would want to do if you were doing your own ajax stuff. You don't have to even use the ICallbackEventHandler. I've been playing around with the update panel which is flat out awesome. Well almost, until you realize it destroys the history, but there's an ajax history control out there you can use to add history items, unfortunately its not automatic.
