http://thesis.selentic.net/gvangool/blog Study and implementation of XAML Sun, 21 Oct 2007 14:56:38 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en After a second hiatus, which took way longer then anticipated. I'm back working on my thesis. Today trying to get my paper structure completed and correct the current text. http://thesis.selentic.net/gvangool/blog/2007/10/21/back/ [MIX07](http://visitmix.com "MIX07") is currently being held in Las Vegas. And the major thing that is/was shown there is [Silverlight][]. I said a couple of weeks a go that WPF/e wasn't really interesting because it only supported Javascript. Well, they changed it. The new version, Silverlight 1.1 (note: what's the point of ... http://thesis.selentic.net/gvangool/blog/2007/04/30/mix07-and-silverlight/ I (finally) uploaded my idea of my [paper layout][]. It took quite a bit longer than it should have. Knowing that I only needed to compile the files and upload them. Anyway, I have my laptop back, still need to reinstall it though. Another thing, I promised I would take a ... http://thesis.selentic.net/gvangool/blog/2007/04/29/some-random-stuff/ WPF/e is gone. Today, well more like yesterday night, Microsoft renamed WPF/e (Windows Presentation Foundation Everywhere) to [Silverlight](http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/) (see all related [press releases](http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/presskits/silverlight/materials.mspx)) No words yet on a release date, but it should be in the first half of the year. [Tim Sneath](http://blogs.gotdotnet.com/tims/) has an interesting post about it ([here](http://blogs.gotdotnet.com/tims/archive/2007/04/15/introducing-microsoft-silverlight.aspx)) http://thesis.selentic.net/gvangool/blog/2007/04/16/bye-bye-wpfe-hello-silverlight/ I've been looking to how I was going to design the database (with web front-end). For starters, I believe it would be most interesting if you could add more (different) languages. That would be mean that for an existing "problem" you could add a solution in [XAML][], [UIML][] or any other ... http://thesis.selentic.net/gvangool/blog/2007/04/03/the-web-application/ It has been another week. Health is better. So back on track (or an attempt) I've been doing some reading and watching this week. I had some WPF(/e) articles that I still had to read, so that's been keeping me occupied... I've also been watching some screencasts about WPF(/e), mostly where just ... http://thesis.selentic.net/gvangool/blog/2007/03/09/status-update-hiatus/ I had a fun 2 weeks... My asthma got the best of me. Well together with some sort of virus. It was exhausting, but I could at least finish my normal course work. But than last week, that *irritating* virus got stronger. I got weaker and it became clear I had the ... http://thesis.selentic.net/gvangool/blog/2007/02/26/the-flu-and-pneumonia/ According to [this webpage](http://www.mono-project.com/Summer2005#XAML_Compiler) a XAML compiler exists for [Mono][]... However the [original project page](http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?xaml) seems to be empty. I can't even get the anonymous SVN access to work. On [Koders][], the source code of compiler was still available ([`xamlc.cs`][xamlc.cs]). A weird thing I noticed, the demo code uses a class called ... http://thesis.selentic.net/gvangool/blog/2007/02/12/xaml-for-mono/ I finally installed the blog :) So that's it for the moment... Now the only thing left to do is start to blog and start working on everything. http://thesis.selentic.net/gvangool/blog/2007/02/08/assignment/
