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"). There are ways of having a search engine friendly Silverlight application (my plan was to have something more solid by now but life has been busy...it is however still on my todo list :D) but I was/am hoping that it does get some attention either now or in the near future. Looks like Adobe are aiming to do this ...
Spoiler (Perhaps) - Silverlight to run on Symbian phones!
Microsoft is working with Nokia to get Silverlight running on Symbian mobile phones. Would this help influence your decision to use Silverlight for UI over other technologies. It seems like the build up to mix is starting to happen with more and more news coming out as we get closer to the event. ...
For those of you on the lookout for more information about MIX 08 and Silverlight, IIS or MVC
Now I usually aim to have either my own content or a collection of links (a points of interest post) instead of a single link to another site but I know a lot of people are on the lookout for anything they can find out about Silverlight 2.0 and Mix so I thought I would post this links. DNR have just done a podcast with Scott Guthrie (well the first part is with him) where he provides more information about MIX (sounds like SL 2.0 will also have a calender control etc).......

Silverlight SEO (Search Engine Optimisation / Search Engine Optimization)
One of my new resolutions was to look at Silverlight more closely, especially with regards to search engine optimisation which is something I raised back in May in my "Points of interest #6" post. What are some of the things I like about Silverlight ...
Merry Christmas Everyone
Hi All! Just wanted to say Merry Christmas to everyone. I know l stopped blogging about 6 months ago but the reason behind that was I became a dad for the first time and little Sofia came into our lives. Now everyone says this and I can vouch that it...
Points of interest #10 - Ajax, Silverlight, WPF, P&P, Firefox and SharePoint
A slight change this week. POI titles will now include the main topics covered in each post ("Other" and "Learning" will usually be included by default so they won't be mentioned in the title). Here are this week's points of interest: Ajax Google announces...
Points of interest #9
Well this week was a nice rest, most of it spent relaxing with my wife. So it was a non-coding week but a range of links did catch my interest: Silverlight/WPF Laurent Duveau lets us know that Expression Studio is now available on MSDN. Ashish posts a...
Points of interest #8
Another week has shot by. Didn't have any time to look at Silverlight although I have managed to download the Orcas Beta and get everything set-up so I'm good to go (whenever I find a spare moment). Links that have caught my interest this week are: Silverlight...
Points of interest #7
Wow this week went quickly. On the Silverlight front I've managed to watch a few more Mix sessions and even though I still have been harping on this week about the need for reach and search engine optimisation I saw a mention of persistent links within...
