Only two days ago I wrote a post to
talk about the direction for the future WinForm's application and the effect
that the release of Windows Vista will have on our development.
Vista will introduce a new user interface, a new style and a more attractive
looking... will be ready soon to write applicatons that reflects this new look?
We need graphical tools (integrated with our development tool) soon or we'll not
be ready for the future.
Microsoft yesterday has give us a sign of movement on this direction:
yesterday at the PDC they have revealed the Microsoft
Expression family, a collection of professional tools for the
design and production of enhanced user experiences and rich content for the Web
and Windows Vista platform.
This will be the tool that we'll have to start building our new user
interfaces. What seems to be every day more clear is that for the future the "UI
designer" figure will assume lots of importance and it will be a figure that
will go "step by step" with the developer.
I hate work with Flash or similar tools, but I think that for the future I've
something to learn also on these fields.
