Hopefully this isn't a double post. I sent the following earlier but
it didn't seem to turn up.
I thought you guys might be interested in a Silverlight app that is
hosting live coverage of the current world chess championships. You
can choose which cameras you want, follow the current position,
I'm in the same boat as Stephen, in the sense that I've not looked at Flex so
can't really comment on the fine details of the technical features, but as far
as I've heard, the they sound quite similar to Silverlight 2.
However, the way I see it, one of the big things that will differentiate
It was worth sending twice. :)
Nice looking app. I'm not imagining they will make millions (I could be
wrong) but imagine this targetted at a sport.
thanks for sharing the link!

Hi Stephen,
I agree with your comments related to .NET expertise. But even
though I do't know about Flex but I want to say that lot of XAML markup is
generated when we are building out styles in App.xaml, and even Designing is
also tough for developer point of view L
Thanks
Lucky Silverlight has so many great tools to crank out XAML for you :)
At the end of the day is there really any more work in style creation than with
something like CSS?
At the end of the day you aren't being forced to trawl though pages of XAML if
you don't so desire :)

Actually there's probably less work because XAML is a controlled and strict
environment the tooling is much better and can be trusted more. Using the
designer and palettes in Expression Web or VS2008 to build your CSS styles is
not WYSIWYG and for experienced CSS coders is actually, usually,
Just on the success of SL in the RIA space...
The hard sell is going to be to the designers... they are in many ways married
to Adobe PS, but this doesn't they have to stay married to Flash/Flex. They key
is, they don't have to stop using PS to do their designs - showing them how
easy it is to

As I said before, iI think c# developers are the easy sell... I think more
focus needs to be placed on designers to get this puppy
showing them how easy it is to go from PS / IL to Expression
Design/Blend is the goal.
how?
I'd put money on there being more C# developers out there
than Action Script developers
ahhh... but that's the mistake. You're saying developers can't
transfer their skills from one language to

I'm not saying they can't... I'm suggesting they don't want to transfer from C#
to anything else, .NET is addictive. Like many developers I only work where I
want to. Now I can work in my favourite language on

- RE: How? - There are plug-in's available online that will allow you to
export from Illustrator to XAML. Given FXG is on the horizon, I'd expect to see
more to XAML as well.

either bored or curious..
Hi Jordan,
Best of luck about your group, for SL. We are with you. J
