Starting New Project At Work

A few months back I was involved in developing a prototype of an Executive View application, using WPF technology. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the project, mainly due to us using Tangerine, a pre-developed application from Infragistics. While it did help us get the prototype out the door in a timely fashion, I didn’t want us to go the route of just building on top of that application. Luckily we didn’t go that route. It was decided we could use Tangerine as a reference application, which is what I was pulling for from the beginning.

This week will mark the first iteration of The Executive View development. We are doing it in .NET 3.5, with a Silverlight front end. It will be a nice diversion from the project I was working on, which will be nice. I’m not the biggest fan of Silverlight development, mainly because here I am trying to get out of Microsoft development all together, and I’m going to be learning a totally new development environment. At the same time I guess it is pretty cool to be developing using the newest, cutting-edge technology. We’ll see how it goes.
