May 8th, 2008

Silverlight Interactions
Ian is a consultant, developer, speaker, and author. His excellent book on WPF (written with Chris Sells) can be found on Amazon. He knows Silverlight. And he knows WPF. This week he helps us with the following topics:

Why Silverlight?

– There are a lot of options out there. Why is Silverlight the right choice? Why isn’t it?

Neurons and Silverlight

– Old movies had a simple trick for freaking people out. Ian explains how this worked and how we can do the opposite in our Silverlight applications.

Where are the WPF applications?

- WPF has been out for a while now. But where are all of the WPF applications? Does this mean trouble for Silverlight? Ian guides us through these questions.
