Hello, 2012

Early 2011 I blogged about my predictions on 2011. What were the things I blogged about the last year, was it becoming true? How does 2012 look like? The main topics my blog was about Silverlight 5, Windows Azure, Windows Phone 7, Windows 8, and HTML 5. Let’s have a look how my thoughts from early 2011 look like today, and what I think are the most important topics for 2012.

The .NET 4 version of WPF got an improvement that integrating the application with the task bar becomes an easy task. Starting with IE9, this is also an easy task to do with Web applications as this article demonstrates.
