Exclusive Musana.com code for Black Web 2.0 users
by urbantech
We got an exclusive set of beta user accounts for you guys to checkout from Musana, a new music portal set to launch later this year. The portal is built on ASP.NET, and uses the ASP AJAX toolkit for the Javascript UI features. Not sure if they are using Silverlight, but it would be the way to go for bowser based cross platform media streaming compatibility.
All you need to do is go to the site, and use the invite code: Urbantech0602
Enjoy, and let us know what you think about the service!

Thanx for the invite! I’ll be at the gates ready to upload my originals…I asked a programmer last week about “Silverlight” and he kinda scoffed at it saying it was MS’s version of java script.I guess that’s cool since he couldn’t use any open source tools for work anyway. I’m not saying JS is open-source(is it?) I’m saying Microsoft is still best at taking not innovating…

Actually Silverlight is not Microsoft version of Javascript, a more reasonable comparison is to say it Microsoft answer to Flash.
JavaScript was influenced by many languages and was designed to have a similar look to Java, but be easier for non-programmers to work with.
There is tons of open source Javascript out there, and despite the name, JavaScript is essentially unrelated to the Java programming language, but the trademark nonetheless is own by “SUN”.
I guess when your the world’s largest software company, it does seem to get more difficult to innovate, but from what I am seeing, they are doing a damn good job of “acquiring” the innovation they need to stay a market leader. I will cross that bridge when I get there, you feel me (wink, wink)….

Flash! That’s what he said. He was a coder and I’m not but that does explain the slick look Silverlight synthesizes…
