[...] In my new job I’ve been doing some research on technologies for the next major revision of our products. Vista will (hopefully) be released long before these products go to market and as such it would certainly seem prudent to take a look at WinFX (and specifically WPF) for that work. For those of you who don’t know what WPF is (and I have to ask what rock you’ve been under) it’s the Windows Presentation Foundation and provides Vista with it’s WOW factor. Our products encompass not only the Desktop but also the web so any technology that provides us a way to appropriately leverage it’s technology to both platforms certainly has benefits. WPF has all of the right things for desktop but what of the Web? Well it would seem that MS has answered that with WPF/E (Windows Presentation Foundation Everywhere). The question is how does this relate to other non-Microsoft browsers like Firefox or Opera (or even Safari) and that’s where the /E comes in. Microsoft has committed to providing plugins for the most popular browsers and a simple API that will allow integration into the less common ones. This means that we could potentially develop our app to run with a consistent user experience for both Web and Desktop. [...]

WPF/E brings CLR and .NET Framework to Mac and Firefox

The demos of WPF/E were very impressive.

Hi Ben. If you thought animated rectangles with semi-transparent fills floating on top of a stock photo was cool, I have some links to send you. ;-)

â€¦ except for the part about tools that embrace design and code views. You know, at the same time. For the same elements. Not either / or. Adobe should be scared. If they donâ€™t address the challenge, there is no question what I will be developing with next year.

Hello. I’m not sure what you mean by “embrace design and code views… at the same time…” The Flash authoring tool and Microsoft’s (Sparkle) Interactive Designer provide access to code in very similar ways. Flash has a script editor built in. If you’re referring to the underlying file format that MSFT is going to use, XAML, you might want to take a look at Flex and Flex Builder (based on Eclipse) which use MXML – a similar declarative format for building Flash applications.

Thanks for the writeup, Ben. Michael, Sunshine, if you're interested in seeing code while seeing design, check into Flex Beta 2, expected for final release this June. Doesn't let you draw apples and write C#, but the Eclipse IDE lets you work visually or textually simultaneously. jd/adobe

My understanding on the XAML vs. SVG thing is that it’s not really about the web. XAML was developed primarily for desktop applications, and WPF/E is a subset of that which makes sense on the web.
So the choice was between having two models (one for the desktop, one for the web), or a more unified approach that’s not following the standard (SVG) but is close enough that there are automated translators.

MIX 06: Mashing Up Web 2.0 and Live Software

The much-anticipated MIX 06 event finished up yesterday in Las Vegas and I’ve been pondering the meaning of the whole thing since. Without question Microsoft is holding out an olive branch to the concepts in the Web 2.0 practice set (SPARK bein

WPF vs. Flash

“This subset consists of a pretty impressive set of functionality, including: 2D vector graphics, advanced text rendering, audio/video playback, imaging, animation, and advanced composition of graphical elements.”

Umm, sounds like they were showing Flash…

Someone asked about SVG and WPF/E, but Microsoft side-stepped the question entirely.

fuckers.
