Analysis Paralysis

The triple-threat of folks like Bryant Likes doing server controls to WPF/E or binding WPF/E output to data, the work being done by Chad Campbell (no relation), and the stunning video player UI done by Mike Harsh, blogged about below, led to me being silent for a while.

It's not that I thought I had to step up and 'compete', but with more and better WPF/E being shared around, I kept coming up with more and more elaborate ideas that ate up a lot of what I call spare time.

I took a walk around the building at lunch in an attempt to resolve a problem in my head when an interrupt request fired that had been set a couple weeks ago :)

I've mentioned the 'charter' I've set before myself with WPF/E, and that is to dig into the basics. If that also involves some fun apps along the way, that's fine, but my whole reason for blogging WPF/E at the exception of other things is just that... to blog WPF/E. So while I have an idea for an app that would be very cool if I could read/write/update to SQL, solving those database-connectivity issues while blogging about WPF/E isn't really the point.

I'd rather dig in and discuss the the fun parts of the new technology than explain how I connected to an SQL database using AJAX, because everyone that wants to do that has done so. At some point I need to learn that, for me, but not for WPF/E.

So... now that I've stifled the paralysis, look for a WPF/E article on pushbuttons in general in the next few days. The one after that will be cool, but I'm not going to talk about it yet :)
