Along with the release of the new Windows Vista beta, developers are being treated to technologies to create applications for the new operating system. Microsoft Corp. last week gave developers access to the WinFX Runtime Components Beta 1 and the WinFX SDK (Software Development Kit).
The WinFX SDK contains documentation, samples and tools designed to help developers create managed applications and libraries using WinFX, which is the set of next-generation managed APIs provided by Microsoft, said John Montgomery, director of product management in Microsoft's Developer Division, in Redmond, Wash.
The WinFX SDK will help developers build applications that use the .Net Framework 2.0, WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) and WCF (Windows Communication Foundation), formerly code-named Avalon and Indigo, respectively.
