WPF - Just one of the reasons for .NET 3.0 and Vista

Posted in Coding, IT, Windows Vista by Will on February 1, 2007.

Tim Sneath is running a series of articles on Great WPF Applications.  I know some people (Hello Ian), were asking “Why should I care about 3D in applications - I just want to do my thing”.

Well,  this application for the British Library gives a perfect example of why you should care - and where it can be put to very good use. 

In Tim’s article, it says the application took about 12 weeks to build - from being given the brief, to having a pre-production application. They don’t however mention how many people worked on the project, or whether that time included importing the resources.  The fact though, that someone can build a mass-deployable application with all the features they’ve implemented - in just 12 weeks is, frankly, amazing.
