Win8 UI Revealed–And it’s no less than an earthquake
03 June 11 04:39 AM | eladkatz | 7 comment(s)

The implications of win8 native HTML are enormous. Here’s Why. If you haven’t seen it yet, Microsoft just announced a preview of Win8 (just codename for now) that shows a remarkably similar interface to that of Windows Phone. I for once really like the look and feel of it. It looks like they have indeed managed to create a UI that will be able to target all main platforms (that is, PC, Smart Phones and Tablets). The UI is heavily dependent on touch gestures, but is still very relevant for the standard...

What is the easiest way to set spacing between items in StackPanel?
29 May 11 11:11 PM | eladkatz | 5 comment(s)

What is the easiest way to set spacing between items in StackPanel or any other Panel? Seems like an easy question, but most of the time it requires just too much xaml work. If we’re just putting items of the same type, we can use “anonymous” styles, like so: 1: <StackPanel> 2: <StackPanel.Resources> 3: <Style TargetType= "Button" > 4: <Setter Property= "Margin" Value= "5" /> 5: </Style> 6: </StackPanel.Resources> 7: <Button Content...

איך מתכוננים לראיון למשרות פיתוח ב.net ?
20 November 10 03:51 AM | eladkatz | 6 comment(s)

יצא לי לראיין לא מעט אנשים ב5 שנים האחרונות למשרות פיתוח ב .NET וחשבתי אולי לחלוק את זה איתכם. אולי תוכלו להעזר בזה, ואולי תוכלו להאיר את עיני לדברים שאני יכול לעשות יותר טוב. זה בדרך כלל המבנה פחות או יותר של ראיון שלי ל.net: השלב האישי בדרך כלל מראיין טוב יפתח בניסיון לגרום לך להרגיש יותר בנוח, מה שיאפשר לו להבין יותר טוב מי עומד מולו ולא סתם להלחיץ את המרואיין, ובנוסף, להרגיש "חברתית" מי עומד מולו. אני בדרך כלל שואל אם היה קשה למצוא את המקום וצוחק על כך שאני עדיין מצליח לטעות פעמיים...

Silverlight vs. HTML 5: Microsoft is not trying to lead but instead to play it safe.
03 November 10 02:47 AM | eladkatz | 7 comment(s)

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for the last week or two, I can’t imagine that you’ve missed the conundrum that Microsoft’s STB President Bob Muglia has created . All around the blogosphere bloggers have started to ponder whether Microsoft has abandoned Silverlight etc. Microsoft responded fast with a post from Bob Muglia on the Silverlight Blog Team , claiming that we didn’t really mean to create such a fuss; Silverlight is and will be the best technology for creating RIA applications over...

Has Silverlight lost the war with HTML5?
30 October 10 11:52 AM | eladkatz | 5 comment(s)

In many ways, we all knew it all along.. Silverlight was (sadly), not catching up as means to replace HTML development. Everyone that ever used ASP.Net, and were sick of using 17 different technologies to deliver one simple website, was hoping that Silverlight would win a good market penetration, and that the days of JS / HTML / ASP.Net would be finally over. So. Guess what. It’s officially not; http://www.zdnet.com/blog/microsoft/microsoft-our-strategy-with-silverlight-has-shifted/7834 What Mary...

  So, there you go. After a LONG time of thinking about it I finally decided to open my very own weblog. (after much thought and, given, some pressure from my workplace :) )   Pleased to be here. My Name is Elad Katz, and I work as a consultant, system architect and lecturer at the Sela Group. ( www.sela.co.il ). Before coming to Sela I was working as a CTO of a small software outsourcing company, doing everything .net (although mostly ASP.Net and WPF). My field of expertise in Sela is...
