Welcome to my blog March 13 2007 [Saturday 9:38 P.M.] Hi! My name's Nishant and I am a Software Engineer. I have had stints at Nokia and Motorola. I know this blog looks quite bland right now. But the vision was to make this blog look like a flippable book, and believe it or not these are supposed to be pages of a book. Nothing ventured, nothing gained! Have been working on this for a couple of weekends now, but there's a lot be done. Being new to web development, I was not sure what path to take: Flash, Flex, Silverlight or pure old HTML (Not sure if a flippable book can be easily implemented in HTML). But sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith and I stuck to Silverlight with Javascript. The only reason I did that was because Silverlight 1.0 had been released and I was not sure when 2.0 would be released. So C# was out of the question and I was stuck with Javascript. There's a lot of work that needs to be done, right from adding page flipping buttons to adding support for comments and all the other stuff you find on usual blogs. Phew! Talk about reinventing the wheel. And, until I do that I guess I am stuck with a two-page blog. Searchability being one of the other design goals to acheive, I will be double posting the same xaml content as an html page, which would just link to this page. All this, until one day, the search engines out there start to index xaml content, but even if they do, it would not solve the entire problem. Till then let me amble along on the path of iterative development to reach that goal. Adios till then!
