On April 9, I posted a link to my first interview on Sparkling Client . Today I'm happy to post a link to the second and final part of the interview . Also, be sure to catch their terrific interview with Dave Campbell ( Silverlight Cream ).
I'm pleased and proud to say that my first Sparkling Client interview is now available for download; and this gives me the opportunity to recommend subscribing to this excellent new podcast. Sparkling Client focuses exclusively on Silverlight and...
Don't panic! It's the same blog; I just changed the look to make it easier to use and easier to read. Hope you like it. Stay tuned for lots of videos and tutorials over the next fortnight. -j
From time to time folks ask me what I do, and one of the wonderful things about working for ScottGu and more immediately Simon Muzio is that to a large degree my job is self-defined. So, while my task is to "build a developer community" on Silverlight...
I've been getting a lot of mail on the lines of "When will we have Beta 2?" or "what is the release date for Silverlight" and since I can't answer those questions, and since I know that folks need to plan, I thought I'd...
So, after some minutes of trying this and that, it is time to take stock and see what's working and what isn't. What's changing... Tip of the Day: RIP The Tip of the Day was a great idea, but I have yet to figure out what is the...
In my recent post I tried to distinguish between my (mis?)understanding of the role of an Evangelist (helping folks figure out if they want to commit to Silverlight) vs my role as I see it (helping developers lean and use Silverlight). It is hard enough...
Silverlight 2 is big. Very big. It's great, but it is very big, with many cool features. So we're preparing. And all that preparation means that there will be a lot of information, and many paths through that information. My goal is to ensure...
Today's NY Times declares (ever so quietly) the beginning of the Netware wars (did I just coin that term?). They get a lot wrong in the article, but if you know more than they appear to, you can conclude that Silverlight and Air/Flex will be competing...
Rather than trying to provide a Tip of the Day as we head towards one of the larger and more important shows of the year (you are going to Mix , right?) Therefore, I'm going to suspend the Tip of the Day from now until mid-March. After Mix,...
I woke up at 5 this morning, so I decided to take apart the Silverlight Tip of the Day gadget that Kelly White had so kindly created and, as an exercise in egomania, modify it to display all my blog entries, rather than just those that are tagged as Tip...
I receive a lot of email asking questions about Silverlight; which is great, but the most effective way to get these questions answered is usually to post them to the Silverlight Forum , where a lot more people can take a look and respond. In any case...
I just returned from a trip to Redmond, where I had a chance to sit down with (literally) a dozen people whom I've talked with, and exchanged email with but not previously met face to face. It was great. (I also spent 1/2 hour with Scott Guthrie,...
