Volta Technology (still a preview) is a set of tools which get integrated into Visual Studio 2008 (doesn't work with Express editions).
It allows you to write the managed Web application code without worrying about how to tier it at time of deployment. You develop/test your Web application as a single tier and only at time of final build before deployement, you can put custom attributes over your classes and methods to dictate which code should run in which tier. The Volta comipler which runs after managed langauge compiler, based on custom attributes, 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.
I have already started on my first program.. will publish more details soon.
It requires .NET 3.5.
