The title is all wrong. He is not in charge of Silverlight. Pure speculation. My reading of directui is that XAML is staying but Silverlight libraries are a dead end. If you are a component vendor, you will stop writing additional component

Hi Dan, I remember listening to you on Mixergy many months ago. One day you should go back and discuss why you pivoted (when you get through this patch). Small businesses are difficult customers. They are difficult to acquire.

The author is right about how dangerous it is for students to only learn from one source though. However, how is this different someone who gets all their news from Fox? Each person has their internal bias, and will learn from their chosen

How did you get started, and what were your original plans? Was it to deliver in person training? Perhaps you should go on Mixergy.

I'd love to see Stallman and Andrea Dworkin on stage together.

Actually, thank goodness for Xamarin and HTML (Windows 8). We will no longer be beholden to Microsoft with our future work.

We continue to support a complex VB6 app (started development in 94). It is too expensive to port the entire app over, and now VB6 is left to languish. There are some problems with building some controls in 64 bit environment and we can't g

MS has no problem killing presentation layers. They killed probably the most popular desktop layer of all time, VB6. They killed WinForms. They let MFC rot slowly with no replacement. WPF was never given much chance to live. I wish I coul

This is correct. Once you have a nice feature, you realize Apple's doesn't run everywhere. Marco is also correct about social. A simple commenting system and a highlighter and a red envelope would be useful. People want insightful quotes hi

The chewing gum thing is a bit weird. There was one incident when the entire MRT (subway) was delayed for a few hours because the doors jammed and wouldn't shut. Turned out to be a piece of gum stuck on the door.

So the trademark owner doesn't own the .COM domain. I suppose they are not in tech? Perhaps you can offer to link to their website (e.g. if you were looking for Paint LLC, go to here). Otherwise, a change of name is not a big issue, even bi

I love C# and the way Anders goes about evolving the language. The problem lies in the remoting stack. It is overly complicated. Compare JSON over WCF http://www.pluralsight-training.net/community/blogs/fritz/ar... vs JSON in Rails http:

Lightswitch is Silverlight wrapped in a good practice framework, just like Wavemaker generates code on Spring. I had a play with Lightswitch and I liked it. It is like MS Access. I'm surprised they positioned this at the developers rather t

There is a turf war at the moment between MS, Apple and Goog. Developers take time to tool up and skill up, and amidst all the gunsmoke and fog of war, we all have to decide who to pledge our allegiance to. By not mentioning Silverlight or

You are only half right. Flash is not an open standard. Standards are means to an end, which is cross platform applications so I don't have to write the same thing multiple times over. If Flash was done well and it was cross platform, then

Speaking from a technical standpoint, since Flash is a VM, and it's running on top of Dalvik, wouldn't performance necessarily be poor? If anyone knows a little more about how Flash works on the mobile, please share.
