Channel 9 Interview: Early Look at the Visual Studio LightSwitch HTML Client

I can’t tell you how excited I am that Jason Zander announced the LightSwitch HTML Client at TechEd yesterday! I have to admit it’s been really hard keeping my mouth shut about this :-). Having the option to build companion clients for tablet devices without having to know HTML5 or JavaScript is a big deal. If you know data modeling, you can use LightSwitch in Visual Studio 2012 to build out OData services that can be used by a variety of clients. The next obvious step is to provide a development experience for building these clients.

So check it out, I posted a video on Channel 9 that gives us an early look at where the team is headed. In this interview, Joe Binder (Program Manager on the LightSwitch Team) walks through the design experience and shows us how easy it is to customize the styling and controls.
