• Silverlight Trivia

  The name We've been dropping little hints about the name for months now - the MIME type for the browser plug-in in the Feb CTP was application/ag-plugin and the script instantiation used a new agHost(...) call.

• WPF College Courses

  I was happy to learn [via Lee ] that the FootHill College of Los Altos, CA is offering introductory courses on Windows Presentation Foundation and other .NET technologies. The courses include one on .NET Deployment that I'm guessing (I couldn't find a syllabus for that) includes ClickOnce, the most superior application deployment technology out there for rich client apps. This is a great opportunity for anyone in the Bay Area wanting to pick up on Microsoft's next generation presentation sub-system and framework APIs. Cal Schrotenboer , the instructor for these courses, says the cost for California residents is $100 for a class. And since these classes are also offered in an online format, you can enroll from anywhere. Read More...

  I've posted previously about XBAPs, but here are a couple links to standalone Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) applications that use the ClickOnce deployment model. ITN has a cool new news -video application called ITN Hub Player , accompanied by a Windows Vista sidebar gadget. See http://www.itn.co.uk/vista/ OTTO , the 2nd largest online retailer in the world, just went live with a very impressive ClickOnce-deployed WPF application which completely changes the online store as you know it. See http://www.otto.de/vista This app also uses Windows CardSpace and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), both .NET Framework 3.0 components and part of Windows Vista. I love seeing ClickOnce being used in mainstream consumer oriented applications, and will be posting about these more often. And that's not just 'cause my team owns WPF Deployment and works closely with the ClickOnce team. Having had my share of munging around with MSIs, I think ClickOnce is by far the most superior application Read More...
