earlier this week, as part of MIX09, we launched an official Silverlight team blog. Subscribe now! We’ll push out new technical content, videos, and use it as a venue to respond to critical industry events that require our voice. You can use it as a direct conduit to us and the team with feedback (both good and bad!). We’ll cover our entire UX platform including Expression Studio with a focus on Expression Blend (and the newly announced SkethFlow functionality which has had rave reviews), Silverlight, Visual Studio, and anything else we think is important. Spread the news – http://team.silverlight.net/ I kicked us off with this post: http://team.silverlight.net/announcements/introducing-the-new-silverlight...

ScottGu has been burning the midnight oil (literally!) to pull together an incredibly detailed tutorial that shows how powerful Silverlight 2 is going to be. Get an early scoop on the features in the soon to be released Beta1, get a feel for how Visual Studio and Expression Studio work together to enable developer/designer collaboration that is second to none, and see just a subset of the power that Silverlight 2 is going to bring to building amazing RIA applications. Get the summary here and links to over 20 pages of details. Hard to believe all of that power is packed into 4.3mb install that just takes 4-10 seconds on a typical machine without Silverlight. Let us know what you think -- and remember this is just the beginning, there are a lot...
I'm not one to spread causes, but I comment on this one because for two reasons.

I'm lucky to be at the forefront of the enabling technologies, but seldom am I involved in the amazing outcomes that these technologies enable. It's good to know that things like Facebook, Spaces, online media and more can be...

At VSConnections in Vegas Eileen Rumwell had comedian Greg Proops interview some of us. It was off the cuff and fun. The conversation was about 10 minutes, but this 1 minute short is me getting completely railed. Amusing to say the least. Oh and if that isn't enough -- i found this post by Eileen too -- transcribed below so you can laugh at us. Do the Support People in India Know About the Helamonsters? What's a helamonster? Sand, steam, water powered pcs, and how to motivate the damn things. Is that a reinstall or just a reboot?

And hopefully some more time to blog :) This week we re-organized our team so that we could better serve the needs of our internal and external partners and customers. I won't bore you with the details but it has a pretty major impact on what I do and the kinds of information I want; so I figured this was a great opportunity to share. My new job is focused on Developer Division (which includes designers) Platform Strategy. My new team is 100% focused on making sure we build the best possible products for the market place. We get to understand the trends, the big picture, the little picture, customer needs, partner needs, and partner deeply with the engineering teams run by Scott Guthrie (NDP) and Eric Zocher (Designer) to help ensure that the...
