dezineforce (http://www.dezineforce.com) recently completed a proof-of-concept with Microsoft to look at how they could overhaul their user experience using Silverlight 3.

dezineforce offer a scalable, on-demand engineering design capability over the web. Backed by a powerful HPC cluster, their front-end web interface is currently built using HTML and AJAX. They were keen to explore opportunities to build an enhanced experience for their users.

In this video I chat to some of the people involved in the project to get their perspective on the project and the results.

... and what exactly did they solve? Put out Silverlight app that runs against HPC cluster? If that is what they did, there is nothing new about it.

 

A usual Microsoft style, so many words and not very clear and concise.

The link works for me - not sure what happened there. Link is definitely correct. Mike

This particular PoC was about adding a rich front-end to the dezineforce.com application. There's a lot more to it than just "a Silverlight app that runs against HPC cluster" but the video was intended to focus on this one aspect. You can read more about the overall dezineforce offering at http://www.dezinforce.com.
