10 Harder-to-find-than-they-should-be Answers for Silverlight Beginner(www.aaronstannard.com)

submitted by AarononthewebAaronontheweb(1140) 1 year, 9 months ago

In the process of learning Silverlight 4, the most recent version of Silverlight for which few guides or books exist, I’ve built a list of the top ten answers I wish were easier to find when I started learning Silverlight. I was unable to quickly find answers on these subjects perhaps because I was using the wrong lexicon or perhaps these are things that professional Silverlight / WPF developers consider to be too “obvious” to be worthy of inclusion in any of their books or blog entries. Well to make it easier for all of you, I went ahead and researched all of these. read more...

Microsoft needs to innovate or go home [ASP.NET](blog.wekeroad.com)

submitted by AarononthewebAaronontheweb(1140) 1 year, 11 months ago

It's a simple concept really: MVC is a wonderful addition to the Microsoft web stack, but it's not exactly "daring" - not yet anyway. By "daring" I mean "ass-kicking" in the way ASP.NET was when it was first introduced, and ASP Classic when it first came along just 4 years before that. These platforms inspired thousands of developers - ASP.NET alone was responsible for expanding the Microsoft developer base massively. Inspiring. Controversial. Wonderful and Fearless. Many have described the newer web frameworks with exactly the same adjectives: Rails, Sinatra, and Django have inspired and helped so many - and enable so much on the web. Microsoft developers tend to remain completely ignorant of what these frameworks are capable of - and it makes sense as to why. read more...
