Rebooting the Client Platform Blog

It’s been a while, but it’s nice to see Tim Sneath’s blog spring back into life. “The Client Platform” is a big old topic to talk about but from the posts of the past couple of weeks it looks like HTML5 and IE9 are the current order of the day.

Take a look and there are some nice videos covering some of the recent IE9 Beauty of the Web launch. Like this one.

Making Of : Never Mind the Bullets from Steaw Web Design on Vimeo.

Oh yeah – Tim is also looking to hire someone to be an IE9/HTML5 Technical Evangelist. He says it’s the best job in the company, but I thought that was mine…

BBC, Semantic Web, World Cup (and a hint of a bit of Silverlight)

Two great posts on the BBC Internet blog (that ones the what, this one more the why) talking about the publication of automated metadata-driven web pages from RDF triple-stores. Lots of links for those interested in programming for the semantic web (which will definitely take off soon, honest).

Look closely at the little systems diagram – I swear there’s a mention of Silverlight in there...

Silverlight and Windows 7 Firestarters

Firestarter

Some good looking events on the Firestarter site:
Signup here for: September 17th, there's a day of Silverlight with speakers including ScottGu, Tim Heuer, Adam Kinney, Brad Abrams and Karl Shifflet - not bad going.
  • Signup here for: September 18th, there's a day of Windows 7 which looks to be focused on deployment and migration for IT Pros.
    Although these events are actually hosted out of Redmond then the links above will sign you up to the live webcast instead which is a great option.
