Flotzam: screencast of the week
Betsy Weber just published a nice blog-post regarding Flotzam, the WPF application Karsten Januszewski and I (with some great help from Hans Hugli) developed and have been running at the MIX and PDC conferences for the last 3 years. Check it out!
Designing Glimmer in WPF
Glimmer: a jQuery Interactive Design Tool is a prototype from the Mix Online Labs which makes jQuery accessible through a visual tool. The objective for Glimmer is pretty simple: to enable the power of jQuery through an interactive design surface. If jQuery is the “write less, do more” JavaScript library, then Glimmer is the “write none, do more” jQuery design tool. Glimmer has three core audiences: power users, designers and developers.

Oomph for Firefox
Belgian developer Pascal Van Hecke put together a great Greasemonkey implementation for the MIX Online prototype, “Oomph.” Inserting lines of JavaScript automatically in any page? That sounds like a Greasemonkey job, doesn’t it? Strangely enough, a search for Oomph and Greasemonkey didn’t result in anything useful. So that’s why I put this simple Greasemonkey userscript [...]

In fact, some of the devs I spoke with were really surprised that Microsoft had people like me — Designers, people who care passionately about User Experience — actually worked here. The impression many had was we were 100% developer-focused, [...]
