Tim Bray, consistently one of the first feeds I jump to in RSS Bandit (yup, I’ve migrated from Sage) points to Obie Fernandez on Some of My Software Opinions who writes:
Presentation is very important, even for small projects. If your application looks bad, everyone will assume it is written badly.
How fortunate then that Tim Sneath has just kicked off a series of posts on Great WPF Applications with the British Library: Turning the Pages and Electric Rain: StandOut. What’s more, Turning the Pages is apparently using HDPhoto (previously known as WMPhoto) to do some smart stuff with image compression — the same technology that’s used in Photosynth. You can read more on HD Photo on Bill Crow’s Blog.
Right, while you’re busy reading that lot, I’m off to smarten myself up…
