Most Popular LightSwitch Team Blog Posts of 2012

I was doing some content analysis this morning for this blog and the LightSwitch team blog and I thought it would be fun to list off the most viewed LightSwitch team articles of 2012. Then I thought it would probably be helpful to also look at the most popular “How Do I” videos on the Developer Center as well.

It’s exciting to see one of the most popular posts was the announcement of the HTML Client which brings the ease and speed of business app development to mobile devices as well as optional deployment and integration with SharePoint 2013 / Office 365. See my post on how to get started with the HTML Client.

  s the introduction of televised Snooker at the famous Crucible building popularised the sport for people of all ages and made the world. The classic Word Search can now be played on Facebook. On the one hand one can argue that this was a good thing, urging Mozart to share his music to support his other addiction, on the other hand he probably would have benefited from some kind of personal billiard trainer.
