Mm..I'm confused. Xamlon is something that hooks out to .exe files or .dll files that have been prewritten using C++, Delphi etc.? And it just connects to these specially created files that would form the logic behind say CFMAIL or CFOUTPUT etc.
And thus these applications can run standalone on Windows Desktops? What would this have to do with Coldfusion exactly. Is XAML a CFML derivative? Wouldn't the CF Developer also need to write code using C++ to make this really useful? -Gel -----Original Message----- From: Judith Dinowitz This Tuesday the New York ColdFusion User Group will be having some special guest speakers on a technology that's both ground-breaking and perfect for ColdFusion developers. Ben Cantlon, Xamlon, Inc., developer relations and founding member of Allaire Corporation and Ingo Muschenetz, Xamlon, Inc., lead developer, will be speaking on: "Leveraging Markup Skills for Windows and Web Application Development" Web applications are changing. Organizations and users want rich clients with sophisticated yet flexible user interfaces. Organizations also desire cross-platform capabilities: rich applications delivered across multiple platforms and the Web. At the same time, Microsoft has developed and is promoting XAML, its first tag-based markup language for Windows application development. With XAML, Windows applications are written using tags while most application logic resides in code behind files. Windows applications built with XAML run on the desktop and can be published, unchanged, over the Web to Windows clients. This convergence offers tremendous opportunity to ColdFusion developers. For the first time, your markup language skills transfer to Windows application development. You can use Xamlon Pro 1.0 to build Windows applications today. Learning Xamlon now puts you ahead of the curve: you can be a recognized expert in Microsoft's next big technology and use that same expertise to publish your applications across the Web. When? Tuesday, November 9, 6:30 PM Where? NYU Medical Center, 550 1st Avenue (corner of E. 31st Street), Coles 101 NY, NY We hope to see you there! Please RSVP on our website (http://www.nycfug.org) to let us know you're coming so we can plan the refreshments right. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:134594 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
