Silverlight Dev Camp San Francisco, Saturday, The Main Show!

On Day 2 of the Silverlight Dev Camp In San Francisco there were lots of great presentations. I gave one on adding animation to a silverilght application using blend, then wiring it up to work with Silverlight Alpha 1.1. I also showed Searchlight and DiggPopular. Two Silverlight applications I’ve written. This post includes my slide deck and source for what I demonstrated.

Speaking Saturday 9/15 4PM at Silverlight DevCamp, San Francisco

Topic: Building animation into “Community Media Browser” for Leverage Software with Silverlight Alpha 1.1

Media Browser Using Silverlight 1.1 Alpha and Leverage Software's REST API

Searchlight was born from the desire to show the outstanding ability of Silverlight to create a compelling web application using existing infrastructure technology.  The products was developed working with Leverage Software, a San Francisco company dedicated to delivering first class communities for it's customer's, Peter Kellner (the Silverlight technology guy), and Uday Gajendar, the design specialist.  Our efforts can be viewed by going to the LeverageSoftware Labs Link Here.  Simply follow the directions on that web page to run the web application.  In this article, many of the Silverlight features in Searchlight are discussed.

I’m Presenting WPF and XAML with Cal In Palo Alto April 4th!

Next Wednesday, April 4th, Cal and I will be presenting an overview of WPF adn XAML at the Cubberly Community Center in Palo Alto for SDForum’s Windows SIG. Many of you know Cal Schrotenboer as he has been teaching much of the Microsoft classes at Foothill College where we had our 2006 Code Camp. Actually, Cal introduced me to Chuck Lindauer, the Dean at Foothill who was instrumental in making code camp such a success last year. As the description above says, we will be discussing Microsoft’s new WPF and XAML technologies and how they apply to windows programming. We’ll show demo’s and also answer questions.
