While on campus for the MVP Summit in February, I had a chance to visit Henry Sowizral over in building 41. Henry Sowizral is a Principal Architect in Microsoft Expression, and he and his team did something really cool: they converted an existing C/C++/MFC application to have a WPF front-end, while still leveraging all that existing code. If you have legacy code and are considering porting the UI to .NET, pick up some pointers from Henry. Once you've finished, check out Henry's presentation deck on how the team converted the Expression Design UI to WPF.

ScalaModules is an open source project aimed at providing fluent support for OSGi to Scala developers. It takes advantage of Scala's infix operator notation, higher order functions, and implicit conversions. ScalaModules transparently uses the Scala compiler to wrap an OSGi BundleContext with its own RichBundleContext model. This general technique is not unusual for creating DSLs in mainstream languages. Sean McDirmid uses similar tricks for his C# Bling library for WPF, except that Bling must overcome the lack of C# offering comparable extensions to Scala.
