Introduction
Being a consultant, makes me very sensitive to the newest trends in technology.
Several years ago, I came across WPF and fell in love with it. WPF introduced brand new concepts that enable the developers to achieve almost total separation between the visual design of the UI application and the underlying non-visual implementation. At the same time WPF provides great features for visual development. Silverlight brought the WPF power to multiple platforms.
Recent developments, however, indicate that Microsoft soured on both WPF and Silverlight in favor of HTML5/JavaScript. This is, probably, the correct strategy for Microsoft in the current tough situation. Over a period of several years, Microsoft lost its status as the largest software company and lost its superiority in the internet browser market. The primary reason behind it is that Microsoft overlooked and came too late to the smart phone and tablet markets. Being a follower is different from being the trend setter and currently Microsoft has to beat everyone else in their own game, which is HTML5 and JavaScript (and based on the previous history I am confident it is going to become a leader again).
These developments caused me to put a lot of effort into learning and working with HTML5 and JavaScript. I am also trying to understand how to apply the concepts I learned while working on WPF/Silverlight in JavaScript development.
The purpose of these series of articles is to make it easier for WPF/Silverlight developers to master programming HTML5/JavaScript utilizing WPF and Silverlight concepts. These articles assume that the reader already has some basic familiarity with HTML and JavaScript, so people who are completely new to it, should start with something else.
I also highly recommend pluralsight.com as a resource for HTML5/JavaScript learning.
Good and Bad about JavaScript and HTML
