Hi, I've written up a XUL News wire story about XAML the latest invention that Microsoft the self-proclaimed "innovation hot house" unveiled today in Los Angeles.
You can find the XUL News Wire story titled "XAML In Action: A Closer Look At Microsoft's XUL Rip-Off" online @ http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.xul.announce/127 Allow me to quote Charles Petzold's grand finale: Avalon and XAML represent a departure from Windows application programming of the past. In many ways, designing your application's UI will be easier than it used to be and deploying it will be a snap. With a lightweight XAML markup for UI definition, Longhorn-based applications are the obvious next step in the convergence of the Web and desktop programming models, combining the best of both approaches. Also the blogsphere is abuzz. Here's a comment I stumbled over in one of dozens XAML stories: I've seen the XAML API, and I think a lot of people will be quite surprised when they see it. Microsoft has thrown out and re-invented every popular W3C standard there is. They have re-invented HTML, XUL, CSS, and SVG with completely new languages. Standards weenies will not be happy. Any comments? - Gerald PS: For the Mozilla XUL junkie crowd check out Wesner Moise's blog story titled "Markup-based UI" online @ http://wesnerm.blogs.com/net_undocumented/2003/10/markupbased_ui.html Is that how you want to get treated? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The SF.net Donation Program.
