Microsoft pre-released their XAML-in-the-browser tech­no­logy, WPF/e earlier this week. XAML inside.
XAML “smells” like the W3C’s Scal­able Vec­tor Graph­ics (SVG). DOM-inside-a-DOM, Declar­at­ive anim­a­tion, 2D graph­ics. XAML maybe not SVG, but it cer­tainly tips its hat to SVG.
Adobe today pre-released their XML-in-a-PDF tech­no­logy, Mars, for Acrobat 8. Essen­tially, Mars as a tech­no­logy is presently delivered as plugins […]

Apple finally releases Intel Core 2 Duo ver­sions of the 15 and 17″ Mac­Book Pro. The concept of 200Gb of disk space and 3Gb of RAM is attract­ive, but we’ll have to see … I don’t think Santa is that gen­er­ous. Unless someone wants a 5 month old 15″ Mac­Book Pro.
Myriad of things from Adobe. Apollo […]

RIP Scal­able Vec­tor Graph­ics (SVG).
Deprec­ated equals don’t use it. The momentum in the web-world has slowed to grind­ing halt.
Whilst SVG is a W3C tech­no­logy, not owned by Adobe, the ori­ginal spe­cific­a­tion came from PGML.
Sad, there was much poten­tial for SVG. All it would have taken was Adobe to make a stand­ard pro­gram­ming model and builder […]

What a strange day. Spent the morn­ing doing “sales man­age­ment” stuff (part of my new job) and the after­noon look­ing at SVG, C# and debug­ging SOAP/Webservices style com­mu­nic­a­tion with the Adobe Graph­ics Server.
Cari poin­ted this out: Pho­toshop Cam­era Raw and JPEG2000 plu­gins for Pho­toshop 7.0. These are pur­chaseable down­loads from adobe.com. Cam­era Raw gives […]

Added sup­port for object embed style ele­ments; these include SVG and SWF ele­ments pulled from the data­base. Need to get code work­ing to read the default size for these ele­ments. I attemp­ted to do this with SWFs, but found munging 5-bits to make an num­ber of sig­ni­fic­ant bits in the twips of width […]

The short tutorial on SVG intro at Adobe web site. (in the SVG Zone)
