This used to be written on a giant poster in the hallways of building 42 (original home of the .net framework) … should have taken a picture of it while it used to be around. (missed classic photo opportunity – anyone have a shot of it?)<\/p>\n"Those Who Ship, Win!"<\/p>\n

Today, we delivered one of the most important features, shipping a v1. Yes, WCF RIA Services v1 is done, and shipped!<\/b> You can get the final build along with the final build of Silverlight 4 tools, right here on the RIA Services<\/a> landing page, that also has links to blogs, tweets, docs, forums and all things RIA Services.<\/p>\n It has been an exciting ride building this technology from the ground-up, seeing people use it live even with early preview builds, and providing tons of feedback (thanks), and bringing credibility to Silverlight as a line of business application platform. It has also been an interesting learning experience for me personally in many dimensions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The diagram below captures the essense – what can a framework do by redfining a Rich Internet Application as a single logical application that spans across client and server, and consumes as well as provides data and services. My original Vision to Architecture<\/a> blog post still holds up a year or so later. I’ll be doing a follow-up to that post, as well as updating my Book Club reference app<\/a> with a couple of new features, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"A](\"http:\/\/www.nikhilk.net\/Content\/Posts\/RIAServices\/RIA.png\")
