Microsoft putting the I in Rich International Applications. Go RIA France!You see a lot about RIA online these days, even debates on the 3 letters, but Christophe Lauer has taken the initiative one step further and produced a RIA focused blog but in French (http://www.riactu.fr)
I have absolutely no clue what the heck he's saying in his blog posts as I'm limited to a mutated...

RIA is slowly fading in terms of it's definition.
When I first started the RIA Evangelism role in Microsoft, I had this nagging feeling that the term RIA was just all over the place. Depending on which technology you are backing and which stream of alliance you uphold, the truth is the term was destined to be abused before it really took off.

What resolution do you design RIA in?
I read an interesting post this morning on how the author wanted folks to consider the 800px resolution for their designs. He cites that although he has a large resolution, it doesn't mean that he's not also using other applications at the same time.

Once you achieve perfection, it's no longer perfect.
Why did the media feel Macworld was flat this year? Why does Steve Jobs present so well, Why do people want Silverlight to succeed over Flash, why do some people believe OSX is better than Windows Vista, why does Windows Vista sell so well? Why does...

RE: Silverlight 3.0 Wishlists
A few days ago I blogged about how I'm seeing Silverlight 3.0 wishlist(s) popping up all over the interweb for the end of year celebrations.
At any point, I've been given the task of aggregating this data to hand off to folks within the Silverlight Team.
So..
That being said, now is your chance to add...

Ok.. the best Silverlight XMAS eCard on the Net..
Michael "Delicate Genius" Kordahi sent this around via internal mail and it was a great find Kordsey..

The fact they were able to put together a Silverlight "holynight" music & lyrics together was sheer imaginative talent.
Well done...

FlickrUploader in Silverlight
Local Silverlight guru, Liquidboy (Jose) has put together a sweet ball of code which essentially allows you to upload Flickr photos in Silverlight (via OpenFileDialog Class).
I won't echo what he's done (as he does a far better job than I ever could), suffice to say check it out as it's worth the read....

You're a RIA Architect, I want to hear you say it..
I was asked via Steam Chat today from a close friend of mine "Where can I get some decent RIA work.." to which I had a fumbled reply (weakness here for our RIA community). It was a great question and something I've often thought about in terms of how our RIA communities from both Adobe and...
