KittyHawk is an attempt by Microsoft to make .Net easier for those outside its traditional developer community. The company’s recently introduced WebMatrix tool suite is one way Microsoft is doing this. WebMatrix is aimed at those developing Web applications.
KittyHawk, on the other hand, is targeted at fledgling coders who are interested in building business applications. The idea, my sources say, is to bring the Fox/Access style of programming to .Net. (Remember Visual FoxPro? There is still a vocal and substantial Fox community out there who’ve continued to push Fox, in spite of a lack of much support from the Softies.)
“KittyHawk is targeting the corporate guy with some Excel/Access savvy,” said one of my tipsters, who asked for anonymity. “It is a drag and drop, template-driven, visual designer….It’s not code-based, but you can write code if you want to.”
Word is KittyHawk will produce Silverlight 4.0 and XAML code.
Maybe KittyHawk is going to end up as a new and separate Visual Studio SKU. Rumor has it Microsoft is going to share more about all this in August.
微软推出KittyHawk项目,旨在为非传统开发者群体提供更简便的业务应用开发方式。该项目继承了Fox/Access编程风格,采用拖拽式设计,支持模板驱动,同时允许用户编写自定义代码。KittyHawk预计可生成Silverlight 4.0及XAML代码。
