session 1: an overview of silverlight 2
DESCRIPTION
Rich Internet Applications with Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1In this event we’ll take a look at how you can build rich applications that deploy to the web and go beyond what you can typically do inside of a browser based application. We’ll have a look at how .NET programming comes to the cross-platform world of the web with Silverlight 2 and the framework and tooling surrounding Silverlight. We’ll then see how you can take that further to develop applications with Windows Presentation Foundation that go beyond the capabilities of Silverlight whilst still making use of the same skillset and tooling.
