There it is. If you want to create multi-platform (currently Windows Forms and ASP.NET) applications fast, be sure to have a look at beta 1 of the eXpressApp Framework. Here’s the official announcement, which also has some information on pricing.
I’m going to be a speaker at Basta! in Germany, talking about the role of the model in Developer Express’ eXpressApp Framework generated applications. XAF is obviously our implementation of the general idea, but this is not supposed to be a sales pitch — the idea is generally usable, whether you like XAF or not.

Just a short notice, the official announcement will go out soon: Have a look at this page, the new CTP 2 of eXpressApp Framework is available right now.

Previously I have sometimes posted XPO stuff on this blog, and these posts are now all eaten up by the DX site — so I thought I’d let you know if you’re watching this space and not the DX community site. Here are the posts I wrote:
This has been announced today: There’s a Developer Express site now for blogs written by people working for the company. This is it: community.devexpress.com I have published two posts there so far, related to the newest major release of XPO (6.1): “Session Management and Caching” and “My persistent classes are real classes — or not?”. …
