Developers for Developers (Devs4Devs) Series - "Silverlight - What, Where and How?" -
[FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']Developers for Developers*is a*group on Facebook*filled with tips, tricks, and stories of battle from your fellow coders.* Some of the best stuff you can pick up in your career doesn't come from a book or a presentation. It comes from your fellow developer and his experiences. A quick hallway conversation, 15 minutes at someone's desk after a "Hey come check this out!".. these are the things that can make a difference!*
[FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']Silverlight - What, Where and How?
I've been demoing Silverlight for some of our enterprise customers, conferences, and**local*user groups for several months now.* If*there is one thing I've see it is people are very opinionated about what*MS is trying to do with it.* Silverlight is just the next ActiveX out to destroy the world, right?
* I felt a video like this would be important to give you insight on where*Silverlight came from not just what it can do.
*
In the video I cover several topics:
- Why Silverlight?* What is Microsoft up to?
- Web Development today - the need for User Experience
- What is*this XAML stuff? WPF?
- Good Overview and hands on with Expression Blend
- What you need to get started today and where you can get it. Does it cost anything?
- Demos sprinkled throughout to help reinforce concepts
-*I take*you step by step in creating your first Silverlight application (yes I used 2.0 this time).
*********- Storyboards, Images, setting properties, firing/capturing events, using the VS2008 Tools, even adding Ink support.
******** - Just for giggles I also*show how*easy it is to put the new control inside a*Vista Gadget.
- Lots of links to additional resources and where you can get more help.
My hope is that after watching this video you will have a clear understanding of where the Microsoft Platform is heading when it comes to NextWeb and the Presentation Technology Space and also how we got there.* You should also feel comfortable*creating Silverlight content in*both VS2008 and Blend and how you can use it in your projects today.* I know I [FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']definitely*[/FONT] had a blast coding with it.
