This week we give Sparkling Client listeners a sneak peek at our new community screencast site. It’s powered by Silverlight, and it’s designed to give a new and super easy way to understand technologies. The best way to understand this is to see the sample video on dynamically loading code into Silverlight.
The Silverlight player (based on the Silverlight 2 Video Player on Codeplex written by Joel Neubeck and Sparkling Client friend Tim Heuer) has support for linking into the video, and it actually displays the important code in html format (where it can be copied). It also has support for a textual view of the video/code.
To see the site, you can go to development-guides.com . It’s redirecting to a subdomain for the moment for SEO reasons. Let us know what you think by using the feedback tab on the side of the site.
