Learning is a never-ending adventure :D

AngularJs - Where to start?
This blog has been way too quiet so I recently decided to do a post about one of the things I've been looking into and that's AngularJs. I thought about writing it here but I wanted to try a different approach to writing a blog post and have gone for the new Markdown approach which lets me easily add and edit posts. I decided to try out http://scriptogr.am/ and so far it's been quite a nice experience.

New ASP testing bundle being launched
Yes this blog post is related to the promotion detailed below. Just thought I would point it out :) Why post it? Well:
-
Prism V2 - Composite Application Guidance for WPF and Silverlight - February 2009 - Released
I mainly do these short announcements via my twitter account http://twitter.com/jmandia but I have been looking forward to digging into Prism v2 but held off until it was released (which is now :D).

Everything has its place
I had resisted signing up to Twitter as I really didn't see the point and now that my little family has grown over the festive season I have even less time (I've heard that reading tweets can become addictive :D ).
-
Microsoft ASP.NET MVC Beta Released!
Another release I thought would come during the PDC has been released:
-
Flash Player 10 is out. A co-incidence perhaps?
It looks like Adobe have just released version 10 of their Flash Player with a bunch of enhancements. Now that Silverlight 2 is out the competition really begins.
-
Silverlight 2 is out, a question and the BBC iPlayer
Well I think most blogs already have this covered but Silverlight 2 is out!
-
Silverlight 2 RTW out tomorrow - October 14th!
In my last points of interest post I mentioned that an announcement was going to be made today. I thought it would either be a release date announcement (if they were going to miss the PDC) or that Silverlight was actually released. Well it appears it is not out now but will be by the end of tomorrow.

Points of interest #11 - Silverlight, Open Source
I've decided to restart my "Points of interest" posts. To get the ball rolling I'll start off small:
-
RIA and Search Engine Optimisation......Adobe leading the charge
I've often commented on my wish for the Silverlight team to focus a little more on Search Engine Optimisation (and printing support....but that's a topic for another day) as I feel that this is one area that could put off a lot of business users (yes you can argue that it is an application and if your application is content rich then possibly your application should be built in asp.net with occassional use of Silverlight to add "islands of richness").
