I’ve been dreaming about XD for a while now – I like electric cars, the idea and the concept, but what I like the most is the fact that it was developed in Croatia. I’ve read a lot about it, but last week on WinDays conference I have finally had an opportunity to see it […]

I delivered a Silverlight presentation on WinDays conference last week in Rovinj. I talked about Silverlight in general, naming a few the most important and interesting features, as well as new features introduced in new version, launched the week before. During the presentation, I did a small contest – if you explain me the meaning […]

I’ve developed Wall of Silver in Silverlight version 3, and Moonlight (Linux version of Silverlight) supports only a number of features from 3rd version. I wasn’t sure if my Wall of Silver would work on Linux or not. Vladimir Savić gave it a try and announced on Twitter that it does work on Ubuntu 9.10 […]

You probably know that Silverlight 4 RTW (release to web = final version) is out. But you may not know the following: Today is Silverlight’s third birthday – three years ago today the name Silverlight was officially announced (code-name was WPF/E = WPF Everywhere) Silverlight 4 Tools are not RTW yet – they are in […]

It all started about a year ago, on last WinDays conference in Opatija when I had a cup of coffee with guys from Shout’em (that’s how we do business in Croatia :-)). We talked about Silverlight and they asked me to build an application that will show shouts (“tweets” from Shout’em network) on the big […]

It has been announced that Silverlight 4 launch keynote will be available on demand here, but currently there are only follow-up talks on Channel 9 (very interesting as well). They will probably fix this when they wake up, but for now, you can find the keynote here. To save you a click, I’ve embedded the […]

Visual Studio 2010 was launched yesterday and I expected full Silverlight 4 support included in the build. Unfortunately, that was not the case – Silverlight 4 was launched today (whatever that means), but it will be available on Thursday, as a separate download. Furthermore, Windows Phone 7 development is not yet supported in Visual Studio […]

Danas cijeli dan sjedim u Microsoftu Hrvatska i kao član žirija za Microsoftove ovogodišnje nagrade slušam brdo 20-minutnih prezentacija raznoraznih projekata koje konkuriraju za nagradu, u četiri različite kategorije. Nakon našeg današnjeg vijećanja, za koje se nadam se neće previše odužiti, nagrade će javnosti biti poznate na ovogodišnjim WinDaysima. Kategorije su: najinovativnije rješenje najnaprednije tehnološko […]

I’ve been using Live Writer to write blog posts for last three posts :-) and the only thing I can say is – this is awesome! I’ve managed to migrate all posts from old blog in about an hour and when writing new ones – posting was never easier! Here is my top 5 features […]

I’ll be speaking at WinDays, biggest IT conference in Croatia, organized by Microsoft Croatia. I’ll talk about Silverlight 4 (no suprise there) on Tuesday, 20.4.2010. at 11h, room no. 7. Stop by if you’re interested – description is here (in Croatian). I’ve been to all ten WinDays so far (speaking at last three) and this […]
