eWeek | at | by Mike

With Microsoft's MIX 07 conference for Web developers and designers coming up the week of April 30, some companies are lining up to demonstrate their support for the Microsoft developer and designer platforms, including Lab49 and Infragistics.

Lab49, a consulting firm that specializes in building applications for global financial institutions, this week announced that it has formed a practice dedicated to developing WPF applications for the financial services industry.

As an early adopter of WPF, the consultancy, which has offices in both New York and London, has been prototyping and applying WPF to financial applications since its introduction. The company claims to be the first consultancy to create a dedicated WPF practice within the financial services industry.
