If you live in Winnipeg, make sure you check out my presentation on Microsoft Silverlight at the Winnipeg .net Users Group! What else are you going to do in -30 degree weather! This month I am going to try and shake things up a bit by combining some really cool technology, to make an extremely impressive Silverlight application. As some of you may have read already on TechCrunch, Silverlight just had a huge win at CES when it was announced the weapon of choice to develop an extremely kick ass site, would be Microsoft Silverlight. That’s gutsy! Your talking hundreds of thousands of users accessing content, 2,200 hours of live video coverage, and an additional 3,000 hours of on demand videos.
I’ve been playing around with WPF, WPF/E (Silverlight) for some time now, and I love the possibilities. The key’s to its success are mainly developer adoption, and powerful systems. I will leave the getting powerful systems up to Moore’s Law, however, I am going to do my best attempt over the next few months to show developers, and artists, the power of Microsoft Expressions, and all the goodness that WPF and Silverlight bring to the table! This will be the first run of a pretty heavy technology intensive demo, so if you come out, make sure to be nice!
What I will be showing is nothing you haven’t seen hyped before. However, during this presentation, we will build the application, run the application, and actually see it working in front of you. I will be taking the same principles that Johnny Lee and Brian Peek came up with, and applying them to WPF, Silverlight, and real world applications.

Join us on a tour of one of the most exciting, graphic intensive application development platforms to come out of Microsoft in years. Don’t expect to see hello world or death by PowerPoint during this world wind tour through Visual Studio.net 2008, WPF, Silverlight, Expression Blend, Expression Design, Expression Media, and XAML. This presentation will have you energized and pumped to expand your horizons. Closing the night, users will be allowed to try the application built during the presentation, and believe me, you will want to try this! If you watched in awe as Tom Cruise navigated a futuristic 3D interface in Minority Report, you will leave this session running home (or driving in this cold) and loading up your development weapons of choice.
