The new position I´m starting at Objectware the 1st of September is focused around Silverlight and WPF. Seeing that Silverlight truely is cross platform, I asked for a MacBook Pro as the preferred computer and got one. The reason for this is both professionally...
I’ve been quite busy the last week working on the Balder engine. I’ve focused my energy on improving the rendering pipeline, both for functionality and speed and have managed to overhaul it quite a bit. In addition, texturemapping is becoming a fact....
Finally managed to fix the 2D parts of the Balder engine and also the SlotMachine game I entered the European Silverlight Challenge with earlier. There are so many breaking changes between the versions of Silverlight that I see now that I need to rewrite...
I’ve been swamped with work the last 6 months and haven’t had time to do any Silverlight stuff, but now I’m bouncing back and have started to get all my projects up and running again on SL 2 Beta 2. First off is the 3D engine I started on last year; Balder...
If you’re like me, you skip all readme files when installing something new and start hacking away instead. In most cases this works out fine, but every so often I would probably be better off just reading the readme or any other documents that came with...
JavaFX was announced this week at JavaOne. I first heard about it about a year ago and have been waiting ever since for what they are working on. It certainly looks like a direct competitor with Flash and Silverlight, but they're also aiming for more...
One of the things I've been finding annoying is the time the designer takes to load for an XAML file when opening it. Pressing escape stops it from doing all it's preparation for the designer and then maximizing it to XAML view helps, but that...
During my "port" from Silverlight 1.1 to 2 of the Balder game engine I started working on last year, I've ran into a couple of gotchas. When I was optimizing the engine I discovered that Silverlight 1.1 had a speed issue when working with...
Finally, the beta release we've all been waiting for (at least me and a couple of other guys out there.. :) ) . The runtime can be found here Microsoft Silverlight tools beta 1 for Visual Studio 2008 can be found here . and finally the Silverlight...
In a press release today it is announced that Microsoft teams up with Nokia to bring Silverlight to devices. During the keynote at Mix'08, Microsoft will demonstrate Silverlight running on a Nokia S60 device. This must be one of the coolest news thus...
I entered the European Silverlight Challenge with a Silverlight Slotmachine game and ended up halfway on the results list. I'm pretty happy with that result, giving that I only spent 3 full days on the solution. The graphics for the game was made...
It's been a loooooong week.. I don't think I've ever experienced a longer week than last week. The reason; I installed RTM of VS2008 and didn't bother to check if the silverlight tools would work or that Microsoft had an update.. ...
One of the things I'm really missing from Silverlight as it is today is the ability to package an entire application with all it's artifacts (xaml, binary/DLLs, javascripts, PNG files - etc.. etc..) in a single archive and reference this in an ASP.net...
I've been brewing on an idea lately that I'm going to start prototyping as soon as I have a spare hour or two.. :) What if we had a server side representation of the the user interface from a Silverlight application. Let's say you have a DataGrid...
Microsoft is finally out there on a tour with the purpose of learning us the do's and don'ts for Expression featuring Florent Pajani, Martin Tirion and Philippe Deltenre. The Expression European Designer Tour will be coming to a place near you very soon...
