InfoWorld Strikes out at MSFT Again!
Quoting InfoWorld’s Martin Heller (in a not so happy review)..
“LightSwitch creates two-tier and three-tier desktop and Web applications against SQL Server and other data sources using Silverlight 4 and WCF RIA Services…
In a LightSwitch application, the developer never sees any XAML: The visual tree is generated on the fly from the screen layout. This insulates the developer from the… complexity of XAML, at the cost of adding a CPU-intensive setup step that must run after every design change and during the application's runtime initialization…
LightSwitch screens run in three layers of objects. A screen object encapsulates the data and business logic. A screen layout defines the logical layout of objects on the screen. And a visual tree contains physical Silverlight controls bound to the logical objects in the layout.”
