RIAug - Silverlight

TechMaine
506 Main Street, Westbrook, Maine
Building Rich Internet Applications (and boring Line of Business Applications) with Microsoft Silverlight
Speaker: Alan da Costa Pinto
(Note: Originally scheduled for March 12, but rescheduled to April 13.)

In this demo-filled session we'll explore Silverlight as a platform for building Rich Internet Applications.

Silverlight is Microsoft's RIA platform that recently powered the Olympics, the US Presidential Inauguration and will be powering CBS's March Madness.

We'll review the design (as in designers) and development (as in .NET developers) aspects of Silverlight, the anatomy of how things are packaged together and how to get started.

And yes, we'll see how folks are building "boring" line of business applications with Silverlight and some of the planned enhancements coming for Silverlight in the near future.

If you are new to Silverlight, are already a RIA developer or have some burning questions about it, then this session is for you.

P.S. We'll show how to get started building Silverlight Applications in Eclipse, but please don't tell my employer.
