Most recently created application using Visual Studio 2008, .NET Framework 3.5, and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), and a few different national instruments devices. WPF is a new windows UI library that is the next evolution of windows forms. It provides flexibility by using XAML which is an XML based markup language to describe the UI. The actual C# code is separated from the XAML markup. The application reads data from various national instruments devices and displays/logs that data for the user.

Why do I compare Android to WPF? They both seem to use some type of proprietary XML markup language to create their UI’s. I suppose that this can lead to greater separation between UI/View code and codebehind/controller code. MS has some software called Blend that generates the XAML for you with a WYSIWYG. Using the expression blend software from MS is suppose to allow graphical artists to be able to create UI’s without knowing too much about coding. I wonder if this is really the case.
Obviously this idea isn’t new since web programmers have been using HTML/XML/XHTML for a long time now separating their view code from server-side code. Are we moving toward some direction here? I wonder what other new technologies are adopting this web programming paradigm.
