Smart Client Architecture and Design Guide

I agree with Klaus that Smart Clients need another look, as ASP.NET is not the only solution for UI deployment.  The P&P book Smart Client Architecture and Design Guide came out in PDF form this week, and I have been reading this with great interest.  Take a look:

For myself, I can see several upcoming intranet projects that would better utilize Smart Clients than ASP.NET.  I am especially interested in ClickOnce and seeing how Code Access Security (CAS) will play a bigger part in developing secure applications.

# re: Smart Client Architecture and Design Guide

The lines between windows and web app's are forever becoming blurred. The future will bring windows app's delivered like web apps (aka Longhorn/Avalon/XAML or Flex etc) so its hard to say just what will happen in the space and what impact it will have on smart clients.
