Web Smart Client in the real world - MSDN Chat Feb 17

  • Article

In response to my previous posts about the spectrum of smart clients, I got an email from Mark Levison about an upcoming MSDN chat he's co-hosting: "No Touch Deployment in the real world", on Feb 17 at 1pm (although 1pm in which time zone the page doesn't actually say!)

Mark has built a real product (Databeacon) using the hybrid web + WinForms UserControl techniques (as well as some standalone smart client apps) I talked about. It's great to see real products taking this approach, although I hope we can continue to refine the permissions model as Mark requests to make the experience even more seamless and smooth for users.  Keep in mind that in a corporate domain environment, these things could all be administered centrally as domain policy.

    Jeremy - thanks for the post. The time is 1pm EST or 10 am PST. As for the permissions - we've vastly improved the situation in our up coming release with a permissions msi - which we show in the demo.
