What are the strengths of browser based applications ?<\/p>\n
Sophisticated user interfaces ? No ! (slow server roundtrips)

\nYou just have to update the server to update your clients as well.

\nThis technology is based on XAML (XML Application Markup Language). This enables us to develop rich clients in a declarative way like HTML.
\nThe following snippet is an example of how to write the HelloWorld application with XAML:<\/p>\n
\n<TextPanel xmlns=”http:\/\/schemas.microsoft.com\/2003\/xaml” Background=”BlanchedAlmond” FontFamily=”Comic sans MS” FontSize=”36pt” HorizontalAlignment=”Center”>
\n Hello, world!
\n<\/TextPanel>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n
\nThis is only a new version of HTML, you might say.
\nBut in contrast to HTML it enables you to develop fully-fledged rich clients in a mostly declarative way.
\nThat’s promising, I think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
