“Off topic” - Google: You liked hamburger? We know where you want to shop for outdoor activities gear!

Today I was pretty amazed and decided to share my experience! Here it goes… I am at business trip in Redmond, WA.

Silverlight 5 before MIX11?

I just got an email, that MIX11 registration is now open. For my complete surprise I discovered very interesting pre-conference (a day before conference begins) boot camp – Silverlight 5 Boot Camp: Does this means that Silverlight 5 will be revealed before this conference? Typo? What do you think?   Stay tuned, Alex

Thoughts about application packaging, Resources, MVVM and others

I thought a lot before decided to write this post… First - I’d like to thanks Ariel Ben Horesh for “inspiring” me to write this post and for dedicating so much time to write his post! After reading his post I thought a lot and my thoughts about the post are the follows: 1. First, I thought about the applications and the way to provide user with best experience while loading those applications… The users shouldn’t wait minutes for application to download… While authoring large Silverlight applications...

About an hour ago, I received an email presenting me with the Microsoft MVP Award in Silverlight!   I am very honored to receive an MVP Award for second year in row and I will continue contributing to the online and offline developer community in Israel and abroad.

New Desktop

Seems many of us changing primary PC those days… Following Sasha’s announcement about new desktop , I want to present my new desktop too – the old machine is also about 3 years old. Ironically, a day after assembling and installing the new system, old machine had one of HDD failure and right now I’m fighting nasty Trojan Horse Virus … Who said, that computers don’t feel what’s happening around? I also used Alon ’s recommendations to build my new machine and finally assembled it as follows: Intel...

New Website

Hello all! In addition to this blog I’ve got new website at http://www.devcorner.info/ From now on all samples related to this blog, samples from presentations and additional Silverlight (and not only) related stuff will be hosted there. Right now the site is still almost empty (only default Silverlight 3 application there), but very soon I’ll fill it with content.   Alex

I’m a Microsoft MVP!

About three hours ago, I received an email presenting me with the Microsoft MVP award! I’m the first Silverlight MVP in Israel!!!

Mystery Error

Today I've decided to change my regular Internet radio application, and try something new...
