Barry: - RE: How? - There are plug-in's available online that will allow you to export from Illustrator to XAML. Given FXG is on the horizon, I'd expect to see more to XAML as well.
- RE: Transfer. People generally don't want to change habits, unless they are either bored or curious.. generally the two are one in the same. Adopting a new technology is not an easy trick to do, you have to really be committed to the idea and have a ball of energy behind you to make it happen. Sometimes it's under duress (forced project) but 1x project is fine, sustaining migration to another technology still requires passion and interest. Sure, there are a lot out there, but what's your point? - RE: Designers & Developers. Correct, workflow is king - yet you still need an architect whom understands both. It keeps the project timelines in check, and what do you mean by "traditional developers"? i.e. where are you basing your experience in this regard from? As for Java.. Eclipse :) despite what folks hate/dislike about Eclipse, I'll agree that it's a great ball of Java code meets UI.. sorry you're being argumentative bazza :) ________________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Barry Beattie [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 16 October 2008 8:46 PM To: listserver@ozsilverlight.com Subject: Re: [OzSilverlight] Success or Failure of SL.? > showing them how easy it is to go from PS / IL to Expression > Design/Blend is the goal. how? > I'd put money on there being more C# developers out there > than Action Script developers ahhh... but that's the mistake. You're saying developers can't transfer their skills from one language to another. In Microsoft development there's a lot of C# developers... but then again, there's a lot of Java developers out there ... > - and that on average the C# developer has > more experience (i.e. they are *better* :)). sure. Designers are designers, not application developers. but C# doesn't have a monopoly on application developers. Not only that, but Flex and SL development need not be any different to traditional software development where the tasks are split between people with different skills. You don't need one person to do it all. you need workflow to move the project from one pair of hands to another. I've come across a lot of crap UX made by C# developers... and when was the last time you came across a really good UI from a Java program? ------------------------------------------------------------------- OzSilverlight.com - to unsubscribe from this list, send a message back to the list with 'unsubscribe' as the subject.
