September 05 Expression around the clock eventMicrosoft will run a big event on October 4th 2007 where 10 events are going to take place at the same day. Starting in New Zealand 10 different countries will present the latest and greatest for designers with the Microsoft User Experience (UX) technology and tools. The highlight will be a presentation of Steve Ballmer at the Swiss event. There is also a cool website about the event - based on Silverlight :-)
May 18 PopflyToday I was surprised by ‚my own company'. This is not happening very often and it is encouraging to see that these bright moments in my live at Microsoft are happening more and more often. Popfly is a cool idea leveraging Silverlight and live.com technology at the same time - demonstrating the combined power of these platforms. I have played around with Popfly a few minutes but I need to spend a little more time with it next week: http://www.popfly.ms/users/MyPopfly (It seem the published projects are only accessible to registered popfly users by now) May 15 Silverlight Developer Reference PosterAt MIX07 we distributed the Silverlight Developer Reference Poster. Now on Developer's Paradise in electronic form: http://vivekthangaswamy.blogspot.com/2007/05/silverlight-developer-reference-poster.html. And here you can find it in much better quality in case you want to print it and put it on the wall in your bedroom: http://www.compisoft.ch/downloads.aspx May 11 Probably the first starter kit featuring Silverlight: MWPSKSince October 2006 the ‚My Web Pages Starter Kit‘ has been downloaded 20223 times from http://www.codeplex.com/MyWebPagesStarterKit. And even more importantly we see a lot of evidence where the kit is used for real live websites (Some examples are here: “Websites based on My Web Pages Starter Kit“). Due to the contribution of the MWPSK community the kit is now available with 11 languages: Arabic, Dutch, Italien, Spanish, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, English, German, French, Romanian.
Probably the first starter kit featuring Silverlight technology As a next step we are about to release the new version featuring a gallery component using Silverlight. Here you can see it in action on one of our customers websites: http://www.bernhardjaeger.at/MWPSK/penserjoch_2006.aspx. The gallery now also allows to upload multiple pictures in one step. We will release this next version (Production release will be 1.1.3) before the end of May 07.
Interview with the developer of MWPSK Here you can watch the new video interview with Matthias Rambold, one of the developers of MWPSK. It includes a short demo of the MWPSK user interface and some internals.
Documentation about MWPSK There is now a fair amount of ‘how to’ and ‘overview’ documentation about MWPSK published. Brand new is the ‘MWPSK Introduction’ by Bill Evjen.
