Post Mix Keynote Interview With Scott Guthrie

Duncan Riley

10 comments »

I had the opportunity today to catch up with Scott Guthrie, Vice President of Microsoft’s Developer Platform and one of today’s Microsoft keynote speakers.

In the video above we cover a range of Silverlight topics, from the SeaDragon implementation, through to the future of Silverlight. Guthrie wouldn’t confirm that Silverlight would be moving offline to become a full blown AIR competitor, but he does discuss certain ways Silverlight is already accessing offline data. On the iPhone and Silverlight he says that Microsoft will be looking closely at tomorrow’s iPhone SDK launch from Apple, and that ultimately they want to see Silverlight on as many devices as possible.

Yes, he’s Australian. Unless he’s had at least 12 beers to drink he’s difficult to understand.

Alternatively, if you drink 12 beers before watching the video he will then make perfect sense.

Luckily Macrodobe was there to innovate RIAs so M$SFT could buy there way in and co-opt it as their own. Theyre like the kid in the front of the class that didn’t have any of the bright ideas but always got the good grades.

I never liked that kid.

Dumb ass techcrunch writer

Silverlight DOESNT have to move offline, have you heard of the .NET framework? yes its been around for a decade

saying silverlight is moving offline is like saying Java Applets will get an offline version called Java SDK

seriously do you people even research any of the topics?

Post what Mix keynote? And post it where?

Why not try some punctuation someday? It could do a world of good. Unless of course blogs are exempt somehow.

Hello microphone! This isn’t even worth watching because of the poor audio quality.
