I thought I spice up my MIX09 UX notes with more evidence today.
I loved the keynotes with all the cool product announcements on day 1 and 2 at MIX09, but I especially thought Bill Buxton’s and Deborah Adler’s talks were very inspirational. Daily life overcomes us too fast and we forget very soon our reinforced [...]

While reading Laurence Moroney’s blog entry about MIX09, I discovered “Eclipse Tools for Microsoft Silverlight” (Eclipse4SL). I have to admit, I wasn’t aware that there was an ongoing project for cooperating Silverlight technology into Eclipse. I think that’s really exciting news!
I have been working in .NET projects, however most of our web development in my [...]
