Azure is incredible and ScottGU explains and demo's it pristinely.

Many thanks to Soma and DEVDIV for putting out a very polished VS 2013 product.

Must watch for all XAML developers.  Many, many tips.

Thanks Tim,

Outstanding, developer focused high-level presentations.  One of the best presentations at build. Jensen is a super presenter. 

Thank you for the hard work that went into this presentation.

Karl

Very nice video and code samples!

Mark,

Thanks for your comments too.  The target user is a prime consideration for application navigation.  In my career in LOB development, simple worked better.

Billy Hollis and crew spent a long time working with non-power users to develop and refine his approach.

What would be an interesting study is to get 4-6 users from the business work and do a usability study.

I'm always open to learning new approaches.

Cheers,

Karl

DCMonkey,

NLN is a concept that can be implemented in many ways.

Does your approach allow the user to have multiple forms open at once?  ex, sales, billing and a report?  Does form get torn down if you navigate away from it?

Multitasking is a driving force behind NLN.  Also, being able to navigate to anywhere all the time is important.

Tearing off could be cool for some users with multiple monitors.  I wrote software for small city governements and water authorities.  A 19" monitor was standard there.

I also have  Zune style application navigation bar that encapsulates navigation and open forms. 

I think the target user is a prime consideration when choosing a navigation solution.

Cheers,

Karl

DCMonkey,

Thanks for your comments and point of view.

I'm not a fan of LOB apps that spawn multiple windows.  I've seen business app end users desktops cluttered with a mess of windows that leads to all sorts of problems.  Some of the problems are due to training and using, some because of the software allowing the non-advanced computer user the ability to over extend themselves.

I think the target user is a prime consideration when choosing a navigation solution.

Good points.  If you have an example to share that demo's what you wrote about, please share.  Always interested in different approaches.

Cheers,

Karl

CrispYY,

We share a common passion and love for the platform.
