New MS app. showcasing all the latest .NET technologies

http://www.dinnernow.net/[^] DinnerNow is a fictious marketplace where customers can order food from local restaurants for delivery to their home or office. This sample is designed to demonstrate how you can develop a connected application using several new Microsoft technologies. The demo utilizes several technologies including: IIS7, ASP.NET Ajax Extensions, Linq, Windows Communication Foundation, Windows Workflow Foundation, Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Powershell, and the .NET Compact Framework.

It would have been more instructive to do a side-by-side comparison of how these technologies were applied to improve specific areas of web development illustrated with the old/usual way of doing things and showing the specific new technology solution. As it stands, the cynic in me thinks this is like renting a limousine to drive 1/2 mile down to the corner store to buy a six pack of beer when walking would actually be easier. It's also disappointing that the "try it live" isn't working. Why does MS insist on releasing incomplete products/websites/demos? It just adds to the half-baked feeling. I certainly can't download the code and try it because I don't have all the CTP's, RC's, and WTF's installed on a "let's goof around with Microsoft's halfbaked software" dev box. Marc

Yeah, i've gotta admit that seems a bit odd. Someone was able to record a video of the app in action, and supposedly you can run the source... what's the hold-up?

Well, maybe. I haven't looked at it, 'cause it's in an .msi and dealing with installers isn't a "day of rest" activity as far as i'm concerned. But the MSI is only 37MB, so i think you're being a bit hard on them - that's a remarkably small amount of code for such an app... assuming the source includes maps and menus for every restaurant in the US. :rolleyes:

Actually if you try to get Orcas, it goes into the GB, only to find out it expires 3 days after the download... How big could the maps be anyway...

I really like AJAX, and this is a nice application of it. As far as the other technologies (like the communications foundation), I've done something similar by having an SQL server and various applications feeding the data from it. I haven't used it though, seems like it's time to read up :P

With possibly the exception of the new Team System Management Framework, most of what Microsoft has been promoting with NET 3.0 are redundant solutions to existing issues. However, unless you have been in the development areas as long as I have and as such are new to the field (10 years or less), it is difficult to see these new technologies in this perspective. One has to ask why Microsoft keeps on chaning its core technology directions which seem to shift with every major new OS. There is nothing wrong with existing Microsoft technologies but as usual the people of Redmond promise us the abilty to "create exciting, new applications" with every new introduction. It has gotten rather old...

Indeed, the MS evangelists colonising untrampled playgrounds, throwing cool aero glass trinkets at new generations of believers, expecting to trade for unlimited admiration and unconditional surrender to the new world.

The download size, for the Orcas September CTP that showcases these technologies, comes to about 3.7GB
