WPF & Prism: Before & After

Glenn posted the before/after pictures of the Prism Reference Implementation application.

I was very impressed when I saw how they got from the traditional developer styled UI:

To this UI:

StockTrader_After.png

Something else that Glenn said couldn't be stressed enough, this metamorphosis has happened in two weeks by a single developer.

I have worked on skinnable (win forms) applications, and that kind of thing just doesn't take just two man weeks, if it is possible at all.

Wow!

This make the WPF story much more compelling.

Take a look at Caliburn:

Caliburn and DI support - Castle Windsor, etc.., NHibernate:

All that is wow to me ;)

Two weeks? That's a pretty long time. In Flex/AIR you can completely change the appearance using just CSS (similar to how it can be used to completely change webpages) and if you combine it with Flash you can come up with slick animated GUIs (that are also cross-platform).

I'm still trying to figure out if this post is sarcastic or not...
