To many developers this may seem odd. I talk with many staunch ALT.NET guys, and the DDD philosophy seems to be that data is a top-down or at worse, bottom up design problem. The issue here is that there is an assumption that just simply not true that data design is part of most software development projects. The reality based on my experience as well as the experience of talking with developers in the community is that many projects (though its hard to exactly quantify what percentage) begin with existing data. This is especially true in the enterprise where data exists in many forms from new databases, legacy servers (e.g. mainframes) or even flat files and XML. It is the rare project that is new code against all new data.

Short and sweet...if you are having Silvelright 2 Beta 2 issues with Firefox and media streaming, make sure you check Windows Update for a new fix. I think the OSX guys can just visit a Silverlight page to get it (using the auto-update stuff).
I was under a false impression. I've been using Twhirl for my Twitter client needs as it was the most feature complete client i could find. Twhirl requires the Adobe AiR runtime to work. I thought that AiR was a wrapper around Flex to allow desktop installation of Flex. What I didn't understand was that AiR is a runtime to allow Flex, Flash and HTML/AJAX apps to be hosted as a windowed desktop application. Interesting...so AiR isn't necessarily about Flex, but for all three platforms.

In response to some requests that I have received, I decided to write a several part blog on some of the techniques I used in developing Wildermuth.com. In this first example, I am going to discuss the use of LINQ and data in my site.
