Steven Sinofsky, president of the Windows and Windows Live division, made his bet on Internet Explorer 9 and its support of an emerging standard, HTML5. “We’ve built Internet Explorer 9 from the ground up on top of the Windows 7 platform,” Sinofsky said during a cameo in IE general manager Dean Hachamovitch’s keynote. As has been previously reported, IE9 – expected to be released next year – can use a computer’s hardware processing power to render graphics. The browser also supports HTML5, an emerging standard for writing Web pages. Other browsers also support HTML5, but the language isn’t fully developed and different browsers may display the same code differently. On Tuesday, Microsoft announced that an IE9 “platform preview” is now available for developers.

Goodbye XML… Hello YAML (part 1) Part 2 This is the first in a many-part series in which I will be writing about using YAML in the .Net space – particularly within C#. I will cover the whys, the hows, and show some tricks using the dynamic capabilities of C# when using YAML. I might even explore IronRuby a bit. Why YAML? I got the chance to sit in on four days of Ruby on Rails (RoR) training from Joe Obrien a few weeks ago. In this case, one of the things I took away with me was YAML. Over 10 years ago, when XML was touted as a human-readable data format, I had to scoff. 10 years later, we are still using XML as our primary data transfer/persistence/definition format. Currently, my colleague Mike Woelmer and I have a client who needs us to develop an engine where the business rules will be entered by a human (not a developer) and will change as the project evolves. <recipe><title>Macaroni and Cheese</title><description>My favorite comfort food.
