Windows 8 + WPF + Silverlight

With Windows 8 out on preview for the past couple of months, it brings great and exciting news for all WPF as well as Silverlight developers. Reason being that Windows 8 carries a strong Metro-stype environment, , which means that 60-70% of Windows users around the world will soon need Metro-styled applications running on their PCs and laptops.

On top of that, what this means to the developers is that there will be a huge huge demand for WPF and Silverlight Developers. It is going to be like the WPF and Silverlight Developer's Candy land! At the current point, we are 6 months away from 2013, which will also be seeing the launch of Windows 8 on many new laptops. That is 6 months away. To be frank, I believe 6 months is the time we need to get ourselves prepared.

Yes, though websites can never be replaced, soon, people are going to switch to Silverlight applications that run out-of-browser. It'll be like having apps on iPhone, or on your Android device. You play, shop, read news and browse for things using an application rather than having to use a browser every time.

Is your application or software, or website ready for 2013? Is your company 2013-ready?
