The Architecture Journal Reader
Posted by Hartmut Wilms on Nov 29, 2007 11:03 AM
Microsoft released The Architecture Journal Reader, which is a WPF reader application for The Architecture Journal.
The Architecture Journal is a magazine focused on IT-Architecture published by Microsoft. The magazine is offered in a printed and an online version, and new editions are issued quarterly. With 13 issues and over 60,000 subscribers, the Architecture Journal is a strong vehicle to drive thought leadership for and interest in Microsoft’s architectural perspective.
Simon Guest, Director in the Architecture Strategy Team at Microsoft and editor-in-chief of The Architecture Journal, introduces the reader as
an offline, immersive, and searchable reading experience for all issues of the Journal, available in 4 languages. The Architecture Journal Reader automatically synchronizes with new content as it's released, enables annotations, includes a reading list of favorite articles, and even supports feedback on articles through a set of online forums.
The Architecture Journal Reader is now available as a beta release. It is a WPF client application that has a strong resemblence to the New York Times Reader. Both readers are based on the NewsReader SDK, which "will be released soon so that anybody could then provide a customized reader for their rss feeds".
The Architecture Journal Reader offers the following features:
- offline reading of The Architecture Journal,
- automatic synchronization with new content,
- look and feel of a paper magazine, articles divided into columns,
- abstracts of each article within a single issue,
- adjustable font size,
- persistable annotations and highlighting of sections,
- reading list,
- email links to articles,
- search feature
The Architecture Journal Reader is a great alternative for reading The Architecture Journal. It offers a great set of features for searching the contents of all issues as well as organizing contents for later reference.

It is quite interesting to see how some companies are moving more and more towards web, while others are getting back to the desktop. I can definitely see benefits in both approaches; however when the technologies/players involved are the big names, I always think there is more to it.

There certainly is and it's color is silver ;-). I like to take the best of both worlds. Very many people read blogs by visiting the corresponding web sites instead of subscribing to the ATOM or RSS feed. I like my blog reader and its features, e.g. taking notes, categorizing blog entries, ... That's why I like the Architecture Journal Reader. But to be honest, I'll most likely still print the PDFs, sit down in a comfortable chair and arm myself with a pen ...

I tend to agree with you... till I get so many papers around that I get that overwhelming feeling... and then I just get back to PDFs.
