Chris Sells talks about WinForms Over the Web. I did a talk at the local Portland Area .NET User's Group [1] on zero-setup deployment of WinForms applications over the web, including versioning, caching, optimization, debugging and security. This talk is also an excerpt from DevelopMentor's Essential WinForms course [2], which I highly recommend (although I'm hardly unbiased : ). [1] http://www.padnug.org [2] http://develop.com/dm/course.asp?id=131 [sellsbrothers.com: Windows Developer News] This is great stuff Chris, as I was just having a discussion with Paresh Suthar the other day on web based applications and their advantages. Paresh had a concern about the lack of richness in web or IE interfaces compared to WinForms. I see a lot of IT clients though where the zero client install (nothing to install locally, no registry settings( and having one browser interface is much easier for IT staff to deploy and support. The richness of WebForms is quite appealing as well, however not as good as WinForms. This seems like a good combination (WinForms over the Web) to address the issues while still keeping the versioning, fast deployment, etc of the web model ( I think). [Sam Gentile's Radio Weblog]
