Ken Eltringham
Introducing Silverlight
Silverlight is a cross browser, cross platform environment for creating rich, interactive Web functionality using a subset of WPF. In this session, Ken will introduce Silverlight, focusing on version 1.1 (but with reference to version 1.0), explain the role of the Dynamic Language Runtime, including a summary of its attributes and how it differs from the CLR, and describe the role of XAML in Silverlight development. He will continue to discuss development for Silverlight, covering the use of Expression Blend and Visual Studio 2008 and the application of 3rd party controls.
