Scott Gu and Co. have announced a few more items that are, well, kick ass.
- A new data tier technology that will allow developers to write data services, decorate those services with a client attribute, and your Silverlight project will automatically generate proxies for those data services. This eliminates a lot of custom code I have written to do my WCF plumbing.
- Silverlight on the desktop on Mac and Windows! Its pretty obvious they are going after Adobe Air here. This gives Windows developers and easy-in to Mac desktop development.
- A Silverlight developer plugin for Eclipse on Windows and Mac.
- Blend 3 can import from Photoshop. It provides granular control over importing layers from the Photoshop document. Very nice!
- Blend 3, in general, looks like a huge improvement over Blend 2.
