Xaml vs XAML

I received an email from Ian Griffiths who informed me that the "Xaml spec refers to Xaml as Xaml , and not XAML ." because Rob Relyea didn't like the "shouty caps" look of all upper case. After some back and forth, I contacted Rob, who wrote back that Ian is right (no surprise...

Silverlight, Educational Charity and Funny Accents

I love office (as a shareholder) and I live in Word, though I'll keep my thoughts about the ribbon to myself. All of that aside, the Australia Office folks used Silverlight to create a fund raising site on the premise of "sit through a short commercial and we'll give money to education."...

Coming soon - better HDI Videos

I'm 2/3 through Daniel Park's surprisingly excellent book Camtasia 5: The Definitive Guide and have found more than enough I didn't know and am glad to have learned to justify reading it. I've also ripped through Timothy J. Koegel's The Exceptional Presenter......

Silverlight Gems

Mixing Personal Opinion and Politics and Technology

I've been blogging here for about 9 months and so far I've defied my decision to consciously mixing my politics in with my work. I'm not quite sure why; perhaps to build up some credibility, perhaps because I've been so busy (Microsoft flex time: pick any 70 hours) Unlike nearly everyone...

Tim Heuer Joins the Team

From time to time folks ask me what I do, and one of the wonderful things about working for ScottGu and more immediately Simon Muzio is that to a large degree my job is self-defined. So, while my task is to "build a developer community" on Silverlight.net, I've worked with Simon to set...
