My initial reaction was: now what do you wanna go and do that for...? But it's really growing on me... I think I like it.

ReMix UK 08 - the sessions...

I've posted about the ReMix UK 08 event hosted in Brighton here and here; the sessions are now available on-line from the ReMix Web site, on the agenda page: http://www.microsoft.com/uk/remix08/agenda.aspx. Please check out my previous posts to get an idea of the sessions to watch out for.

What is in a name?

Whilst drinking my first cup of coffee this morning and browsing my daily feeds, it occurred to me that Prism as a moniker is far more extensible and composite in nature than the official title of the product: Composite WPF. The reason being that once you introduce Silverlight into the mix it's no longer Composite WPF.

• Composite Silverlight?
• Composite XAML?
• Composite .NET?

I find it amusing that the "marketing" title for the product does not live up to the product that it allegedly describes. Apparently for legal beagle reasons we cannot keep the lovely handle Prism as a product name.
