Current and future Microsoft (Expression) Blend Versions

Bild
Any Developer working in the XAML Environment must have stumbled across Microsoft Blend, a.k.a. Expression Blend at some time. Blend is a Software aimed to support developers and designers of XAML based UIs create designs and animations, apply behaviors and so forth. As of 2010 (talking VS Versions), Microsoft has made the licensing of Blend a real mess, if you're a WPF Developer: The only way to purchase Blend is buying the entire Expression Studio Ultimate for somewhere around 500 Euros. Smaller development teams are made to bleed unnecessarily, since the VS 2010 XAML editor had serious issues before SP1. We're talking 2012 now - seems MS have learned their lesson: Blend is free for Windows 8 Store Apps and comes along with the correlating Visual Studio Express Edition. But what about WPF or the already zombified Silverlight? Good news first: Blend will continue to support WPF. But what are the licensing terms? Looking things up on the Blend Insider Blog , I fo...

Getting the Crisp back into your WPF Apps

Bild
WPF has a lot of advantages, it's perfectly sane data binding mechanism being one of the most outstanding ones.On the flipside, many people (meaning companies, mostly) have refused to switch from WinForms to WPF because of the "blurry" looks of applications written in WPF. This blurryness goes back to two mechanisms: 1)Text Smoothing Instead of relying on the system's ClearType mechanism, WPF does it's own thing-a-magic, which is blatantly inferior to the aforesaid. In fact, WPF smoothed fonts are a definite way to headaches, if read for some time. Note : The image is from a website that compares various Microsoft.Net Font-Smoothing implementations. They might be useful to integrate text in images, though.For business applications (displaying data grids etc.) this is a K.O. criterion. Nobody wants to have to take their glasses off in order to achieve readability, and nobody wants their software deployed along with a pack of aspirins. 2)SubPix...

Confluent Cloud Series - Part 1 : Getting the .Net examples to work

Bild
Confluent Cloud is a great thing if you want to fiddle around with apache kafka without getting into the infrastructure too much. In order to concentrate on the .Net stuff, I assume you'll figure out how to setup a cluster and topic yourself. Once that is done... Log in to Cloud Select Cluster Once there, follow these directions: Go to CLI & Client configuration Go to Clients Tab Create API Key and Secret and keep somewhere safe Save the config to a file, say confluent.config. Replace Key and Secret. Bootstrap server should be set correctly, since this file was generated by the cloud (check, though). Follow the example link ( https://github.com/confluentinc/examples/tree/master/clients/cloud/csharp#overview ) Once there, you will see the documentation hinting that there are issues with certificates being accessible to the .Net library. So, as advised there, download Certificate from https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem Next, open Visual Studio and c...
