Late last night, Scott Barnes introduced Project Nexus where the goal is to provide a vicarious experience for those who wonder whether the tagline "learn once, apply anywhere" really fits Microsoft's Rich platform story. Can you really take advantage of your .NET skills, code and tools across our multiple offerings? This where Scott steps in and says:
Well, I’m going to answer this and I’m not going to do it via lip service either. I’m going to write a complete end to end solution from scratch, in that I’m going to write code that I will be able to use throughout our entire Rich Platform. It will be a complete ACME style solution that is a living breathing application as well.
I think its great idea and I hope to help where I can. That's where this first post comes in. Scott's started the project by opening up with a Contract for the project, open for discussion. Currently his plan is to span the technologies of ASP.NET MVC + AJAX, Silverlight, WPF, Windows Forms, WCF and SQL Server. Is there something missing you'd like to see? Leave a comment on his post and let him know.
Sounds like a Continuum episode(s) in the works to me...
