Microsoft doesn't even know what developers needs are anymore, let alone where they are at.

You development is based on your internal needs they you release the development tools to the public at a premium or better yet use the public as beta testers.

What a joke.

@Where's the SL hype - We appreciate your participation in the Silverlight experiment we conducted for a few years.

That experiment is now over and we are moving on to our latest experiment. Windows RT. Please redirect all your energy there. Learn it and love it.

We will try not to drop it for a least a year.

All MS talked about during 2010 and 2011 was Silverlight. What happened? You just dropping it like a brick?

Great Post about future of Microsoft Web Application Development — Tue, 01 May 2012 00:12:34 GMT

I think Microsoft support for open source projects Node.js, Java, PHP and JQuery Mobile will help in developing better websites both for Client Server and Mobile environments. Looking forward...

Hi Bart-

Thanks for your feedback. We have taken some steps over the years to open up key parts of .NET Framework in response to customer feedback and to promote interoperability. For example, we helped create and evolve the ECMA standards for C# and CLI, and then announced (port25.technet.com/.../the-ecma-c-and-cli-standards.aspx) that these standards were covered under the Community Promise (www.microsoft.com/.../default.mspx). We’ve also released many different .NET libraries over the years under open source licenses like MS-PL and Apache 2.0, such as the Managed Extensibility Framework (http://mef.codeplex.com/), the Dynamic Language Runtime (http://dlr.codeplex.com/), ASP.NET MVC (aspnetwebstack.codeplex.com), and the .NET Micro Framework (www.microsoft.com/.../default.aspx). We also recently announced that we’re open sourcing additional ASP.NET technologies (weblogs.asp.net/.../asp-net-mvc-web-api-razor-and-open-source.aspx). Based on the FAQ on the mono project site (www.mono-project.com/FAQ:_Licensing), it sounds like the Mono Project has indeed implemented the CLI standard and reused much of the code we’ve open sourced. We think this is great, and hope it is helpful to developers who need to reuse their .NET assets on a variety of platforms. We will continue to look for opportunities to promote interoperability and open source that fill important developer and customer needs.

Thanks.

When is the announcement on backwards compatibility for .Net 4.5 expected? Many people need to plan out in advance their development platforms decisions. It would be nice (for those of us who still have to support XP) to know if .Net 4.5 is in our future.

Hi Haydnguy,

I am writing a blog post on C++ that I will hopefully post next week.

Stay tuned!
