Universal Desktop Daily - Monday, October 2, 2006

This is a little bit late this morning but that means I had a really nice, long, relaxing weekend for the most part, so I'll take the trade off :). Dave Wolf of Cynergy Sytems has a great post about the history of Ajax and spotlights the fact that we're using DHTML after having stopped using it 5 years ago because it wasn't a very good solution.

This is a little bit late this morning but that means I had a really nice, long, relaxing weekend for the most part, so I'll take the trade off :).

  • Dave Wolf of Cynergy Sytems has a great post about the history of Ajax and spotlights the fact that we're using DHTML after having stopped using it 5 years ago because it wasn't a very good solution. I have more on this that I am hoping to post later.
  • Ted Patrick and Mike Chambers of Adobe were at Yahoo's Hack Day (summary here) and Ted posted a few examples of Apollo applications they built while there.
  • Our newest ZDNet blogger, Mary Jo Foley, has a couple of Vista related posts. One talks about Vista launch details and the other is about some launch numbers. At this point, all we can do is guess how this impacts Windows Presentation Foundation adoption, but both of these things could be good news for WPF developers.
  • Lee Brimlow, who seems to be one of the few people working with Flash and Windows Presentation Foundation has a good post titled Understanding WPF, Flex, Apollo, and Flash. I agree with a lot of his points, and he does a good job summarizing the landscape.
