How to develop out-of-browser applications ?

Anonymous — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 05:00:00 GMT

Hi Geeks,

A question needs an answer for most of web developers these days : Can we develop a web application and this application can run out of the browser ? The answer is YES, You can do that.

But How ? Use Silvelight 3.0 Beta.

One of the interesting features in Silverlight 3.0 is that you can detch your application from the web browser and this browser can work as a desktop application.

Silverlight 3.0 Beta have other interesting features such as: checking network availability,storing data offline and much more.

If you have no experience with silverlight 2.0 or earlier, this is the site you want to get started with :

http://silverlight.net/getstarted/silverlight3/default.aspx

This site is a good reference for all Silverlight 3.0 Features and samples.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Mostafa arafa

I’m going to try to put together a list of links I grab and post them to intermittent blog posts. I’d like to do a post like this once a day or at the very least once a week, but let’s see where things go. :) Anyway, here’s the first batch of links summarized by technology. Some of these may be a couple of weeks old, so please bare with me as the first list is quite lengthy. I’ll also add in recently released books, software releases and updates, and upcoming technology events.
