Avalon to go Cross Platform
September 20, 2005
| Filed under:
Only yesterday I had a discussion at work about the direction I would take if I was choosing a UI strategy having seen Avalon in action as part of Microsoft Max application. The answer: Probably to give up on cross-platform UI development, put as much logic as possible into a cross-platform C++ services layer and then write custom UI layers for each OS. Avalon just looks too good now to avoid using for windows users. Any other approach will look ‘old-fashioned’. Microsoft’s new move to make this layer cross-platform is very smart… It means I can feel even better about developing for Avalon, knowing that I may be able to port other operating system versions using it also.
