For this, another group of developers from the Redmond giant created the Ribbon Framework.
If you've started up a computer with an Office application during the past couple of years, you probably met up with the Ribbon. This ingenious visual element of the Office package revolutionized the way we perceive working with documents. In this article, we'll take a closer look at it, and even learn how to use the Ribbon Framework to suit our own programs.
