RE: HTML vs Silverlight - comparative effort?

2011-03-29 Thread Paul Stovell
Just to add my 2c, it's not necessarily an or choice. You could build 90% of the app as a web app (which for webby-things, will be much faster - Silverlight/XAML has nothing on Razor/MVC/HTML/CSS). Then if you hit something that's difficult to do in pure HTML/JS, build that 10% in Silverlight.

2010-11-03 Thread Paul Stovell
Re: mapping views to view models, I like to use a convention to map view models to views (e.g., FooViewModel should expect a .xaml file named FooPage, FooView or FooWindow). So you shouldn't have to store the mapping explicitly. In Magellan with just MVVM it goes something like this: 1.
