One of the core idea of agile design and development is short iteration of delivering something the client.

Any Cool Silverlight Design?

July 8th, 2008 | Wahyudi

Maybe it is not fair to compare Flash with Silverlight from the point of view of how each technology is being spread. What I mean by that is that Flash has been around much longer than Silverlight.

A .Net Guy

October 24th, 2007 | Wahyudi

I have to say that I’m 100% agree with this guy. I also came from the classic way of doing dynamic web application before I converted my self to a ASP .net developer.

But before you start using .net efficiently you need to rethink the way a web application should be developed. One of the main pillar of that rethink is the use of object oriented pattern and methodology to architect your web application.
