Some of the SVG evangelists have put together a SVG Programmers’ Application Resource Kit (aka SPARK) website. It has some pretty cool SVG programming examples, and is meant to promote “programming” with SVG. If you hit the SVG version of the site (requires Adobe’s SVG Viewer), you can see some of the cool things you can do with an XML based UI with a vector graphics API under the covers. Sort of looks a lot like the XAML-GUI stuff. The major drawback is that it is all in script. If the event code was all done in managed code, and could take advantage of the graphics card, it would be really slick, but hey that’s Longhorn territory. But I’m sure we could get a best of both worlds if we used SharpVectors and enhanced it to support DirectX and GDI+ (with automatic switching), and included .Net scripting support.

About donxml
I’m an independent consultant, specializing in .Net solutions architecture, based out of New Jersey who also doubles as an evangelist for XML, Domain Driven Design, enterprise architecture and .Net. I do not work for Microsoft, the W3C or any other big company that you may know of (at least not yet). I’ve been an indie for over ten years, and although I’ve been tempted a couple times to take a job with companies like Microsoft, I’ve haven’t found something better than my current situation. I work mostly with the large pharmaceuticals that are based here in New Jersey, and usually find myself on long term contracts. Definitely not the prototypical indie consultant, but it lets me dedicate time to my non-income generating activities like the developer community stuff, plus financing open source projects like XPathmania and MVP-XML. If you would like to talk to me about doing some contract work, just contact me via the contact page. My rates vary widely, depending on lots of different variables, but mostly distance from Jersey, and type of work. Plus, I’ve been known to donate some of my code for various projects.
