Sparkle make sense of Avalon

Now Avalon sorry WPF make sense with Sparkle. If you still don’t know what is Sparkle check urgently this video on Channel 9.

Sparkle is not Flash, I think it’s even better. It solve one of the main grief I have with Flash is the real link to data sources. I know it’s possible with Flash but it’s not that easy and open as Sparkle.

Other problem with Flash is the fact I have to learn another language, another environment and new habits. With Sparkle I can work with my usual tools, writing in C# or VB but of course use the cool new graphic tools.

And the way I can expand now the UI on the web to provide a better experience for the user is absolutely fantastic.

One thing to close this post. If you are in Ireland in October, don’t miss INDA user group conference on the 25th of October.

Ian Griffith will talk about Avalon and I am sure we will see more about Sparkle (Ian will be in Belfast, Waterford, and Galway the same week so no excuse to miss him)
