| Title: Building Next Generation Web applications using Silverlight 2.0 |
|
Abstract: Silverlight is arguably the biggest shift in Microsoft strategy on the web since IE was introduced over 10 years ago. With the reach of cross platform and the richness of the .NET framework, the future of building Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) has never been more exciting. In this talk, you will learn about Silverlight 2.0, the platforms, tools and technologies you can use to build Silverlight applications, and how it differs from the full Windows Presentation Foundation platform in .NET 3.0 from a feature perspective as well as performance and deployment. You will learn how code-behind in Silverlight works and how to bind data, you'll see how use technologies like Windows Communication Foundation with Silverlight and how animations and transitions in the platform can add that extra user experience your applications need to be great.
