The Tablet Show - “Resist the Drama”
I had an opportunity to talk with Carl Franklin and Richard Campbell (the .NET Rocks guys) on their new show called The Tablet Show. It’s always fun talking with them since there’s never a boring moment or lull in the conversation. In this episode we talk about the new WinRT framework used to build Metro apps in Windows 8, the future of Silverlight, the drama some developers seem to love, and a bunch of other topics related to development including why Microsoft is moving toward the Start Screen that you see in Windows 8. Give the show a listen by clicking the image below.

Digging WPF
I'm really digging WPF these days. While there are a lot of cool technologies out there, WPF seems to offer a lot of promise for desktop apps or even apps running within Internet Explorer when .NET 3.0 is installed on the client.
Simon Allardice (one of the cool/smart people I work with at Interface Technical Training) showed me a great WPF application today from the British Library that allows people to inspect some really old books and documents. I've always enjoyed Mozart's compositions (I enjoy writing music on an amateur scale) and have been checking out some of his manuscripts.
