Subject: Re: [dba-VB] Rapid Application Development: LightSwitch 2011 (no beta) Hi Gustav -- Thank you for your information. I personally do not plan to work (and even to play) with MS LightSwitch. I can be wrong - but as far as I have heard/read HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript will soon (in a few years?) make Adobe Flash and SilverLight(?) a kind of "obsolete" technologies: http://ntt.cc/2010/03/15/will-html5-css-javascript-really-be-flash-and-silve rlight-killer.html and iPad doesn't support Adobe Flash (does it support Silverlight?) - and according to the referred above article everybody will soon have an iPad :) Thank you. -- Shamil -----Original Message----- From: dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-vb-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gustav Brock Sent: 5 ???????? 2011 ?. 20:42 To: dba-vb at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [dba-VB] Rapid Application Development: LightSwitch 2011 (no beta) Hi all I asked MAPS if Visual Studio LightSwitch 2011 (now trial and purchase-ware): http://www.microsoftstore.com/lightswitch will be included in the Microsoft Action Pack Development and Design Subscription for 2011/2012? No: Unfortunately Visual Studio LightSwitch 2011 will not be included in the Action Pack.

It has, and has even been labeled Go Live. I guess it means some kind of improved level of support. That took me a couple of minutes - and another couple to copy and paste the links and post these here. Then I browsed the development pages a little and people and the team seem quite active. But I still miss the time for testing ... /gustav >>> shamil at smsconsulting.spb.ru 03-04-2011 19:24 >>> Hi Gustav -- How do you manage to find free time to watch for and to even try(?!) Beta releases of MS software? I can't find that free time...
