A Microsoft demonstrará uma versão inicial da sua nova ferramenta de gráficos e animações na Conferência para Desenvolvedores Profissionais PDC 2005, em Los Angeles. O produto, chamado de 'Sparkle', ainda está em desenvolvimento e não está claro se o produto estará pronto para ser lançado com o Windows Vista em 2006.
Observadores afirmam que as ferramentas de animação e gráficos poderiam oferecer alternativas aos populares Flash MX e Director MX, da Macromedia. Segundo a fonte que revelou as informações sobre o Sparkle, "ele é um bom conceito de integração com o Visual Studio".
Microsoft will show an early version of its next-generation graphics and animation toolset at its Professional Developers Conference (PDC) next week in Los Angeles, internetnews.com has learned. The product, code-named Sparkle, is still in development and it's unclear whether it will be ready to ship with Windows Vista next year.
But industry-watchers say built-in animation and graphics tools could offer developers an alternative to Macromedia's popular Flash MX and Director MX animation tools. A Microsoft spokeswoman declined comment on speculation of news coming out of PDC. A Macromedia spokesperson was not immediately available for comment. "It's a good concept and the integration with Visual Studio [Microsoft's platform for designing for Windows, Web and mobile device applications] is nice," said the source, who has seen the version of Sparkle that will be unveiled at PDC.
