Last year was a surprise to developers that so much new technology was announced at MIX07. I was there and had a blast. This year I have to read the news from behind my pc. But I'm gathering all news for you and myself. Silverlight 2 with GoLive license. It's downloadable! Silverlight 2 Beta...

A very cool show case for Silverlight maybe, the functionality not emprisive like the graphics Source: http://www.tafiti.com/Original/default.aspx

You probably all read Scott Guthries weblog, so I don't even have to create a link to it! ;-) But he just announced Silverlight 2.0. It's basically 1.1 with too many features to call it a point release. And while the list below isn't the final list, it's a cool list to see what's...

Two weeks ago Mike Schroepfer, a Mozilla developer, announced that they'll launch a version of Firefox that can be run mobile devices. If you own a Windows Mobile device, you're probably craving for a better browsing experience, just like I am. I've seen Deepfish, a new browser by Microsoft...

As I really enjoyed giving the Summer Classes a few weeks ago, the first ever real .NET 3.5 class world wide, I'm really pleased to announce the Winter Classes. Although the date hasn't even been set, we're planning it around the end of January or start of February. The classes will be the...

The weekend-after has passed and I've slept through most of it. Man did we use up some hours (some nights we went on with the training until 23:00 hours) and especially the last night when we drank past the bar its closing hours and went on in a local pub in Domburg! But of course it wasn't about...

As said before , we're currently on location at the "middle of nowhere", creating material for the upcoming .NET 3.5 Summer Class . We're having a blast, creating slides and hands on labs until way past midnight. I'm busy with the WCF Web stuff, Alex is creating Linq to SQL/XML...

Currently SilverLight doesn't support a lot of controls. Via Tim Sneath I found Netika Tech whom build this suite of controls called GOA WinForms for SilverLight and Flash. It has over 40 standard controls and components to use Windows like controls in your SilverLight application. Skinning seems...

Day 1 of DevDays 2007 in Amsterdam RAI was a great success if you'd ask me. I have visited DevDays 2004 as well, and I remembered that I then found it very much like a big Microsoft commercial back then. This year however I really enjoyed the sessions by Scott Guthrie and Dino Esposito. I attended...

A few days ago I downloaded the May-preview of Expression Blend 2. I wanted to have a look at the Silverlight-options it offers. I was surprised to see that this download took not more then 26 Mb. After I installed it I had a first look at the darkgrey, industrial-looking interface. Except for the use...

If you haven't gotten up to speed what Microsoft Silverlight is all about, Scott Guthrie has a complete rundown of features, plans, recorded MIX07 sessions, etc .

Some people use hyperbole to refer to the disclosure of Silverlight and CoreCLR by Microsoft at MIX07. April 30, 2007 has been called the day that will be remembered as the day that Microsoft "rebooted the web" . This might be true in more than one way. I was just reading the Silverlight SDK and was...
