>Heh. I see you sign yourself as "MVP - Device Application Development" ... so are you into Expression Studio 4 or are you expecting Lightswitch to help MS catch up with iPhone or Google App Inventor (which isn't just for mobile phones) or are you another who thinks development ought to be difficult to keep out the morts? ;-)
Not sure I understand the question. I use Expression studio 4 for design of silverlight ui's and styling. I haven't looked at lightswitch and don't plan to. I don't like programs that generate your code for you. I don't think that coding should be way difficult, but the problem is (like with foxpro) when its easy, any Tom, Dick or Harry seems to think they are now programmer's because they can figure out how to string commands together to create a program. I've had to deal with such beginner spaghetti code a number of times and am tired of it.
Sure, WP7 has free tools now for building apps and the market place will be flooded with apps from all kinds of sources. I guess we'll let the market sort out the good from the bad..
