Web Applications of Tomorrow

The websites of the future will be based on Model-View-Controller architecture and Rich Internet Applications that use client-side runtime engines like Microsoft Silverlight and Adobe Flex to provide a user experience close to that of a desktop application.

Lancaster Software reccommends building any new website using MVC or RIA architecture. The days of legacy post-back style web applications are numbered.

Desktop and Mobile Applications of Tomorrow

Windows desktop applications of the future will be based on Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Communication Foundation and be deployable over the Internet with next to zero effort.

Before you settle on building a web application just because they are easy to deploy, let us show you how powerful and versatile Click-Once deployment is.
