Scott Barnes mentioned the release cycle would be easing back a bit after this next one. (I vaugly recall 12 month cycle being mentioned but don't quote me on that, and also Scotts one of us now hehe). I still haven't had the chance to use all the nice new things with Silverlight 3, but looking at the list of SL4 features it looks like most of the stuff is enhancements, not changes. It looks like they have been focussing on requests so really nice to know Microsoft is listening.
As for blogs, I've been trying to remove feeds from Google Reader as I've got too many and can't stay up to date. :/ Also finding out of date examples may be a problem if there are a lot of breaking changes. I think that was the worst with Silverlight 3 Beta to SL3 RTW, there seemed to be a lot of stuff documented that was then changed by the time it was released. Christmas comes twice a year for Silverlight devs. :) On Mon, Nov 23, 2009 at 9:35 PM, Miguel Madero <[email protected]> wrote: > Either MS needs to slow down (which they might after releasing 4.0 (mere > speculation)) or book publishers need to shorten their cycles.
