Greg will be providing an overview of Microsoft's new Silverlight
technology, followed by reviewing sample applications to highlight the
power of Silverlight. The remainder of the presentation will show how to
complete typical programming tasks utilising Silverlight.
The talk will focus on Silverlight 2 functionality as released at the
MIX conference during March.
Silverlight is Microsoft's new cross platform browser plugin. This
provides Rich Internet Application (RIA) user experiences by providing
core dot NET common language runtime functionality within the browser.
This means that windows style applications are able to run within the
browser. Silverlight also supports many rich media display options, such
as vector graphics, animation and audiovisual playback.
Silverlight is cross platform, currently supported on Macintosh, Linux
and MS Windows.
Silverlight is radically changing the RIA landscape. Currently there are
1.5 million Silverlight downloads a day, this technology will be used by
NBC for Internet streaming video coverage of the Beijing Olympic Games.
Silverlight competes in the same space as Adobe Flash / Flex.
Greg is an independent consultant/developer specialising in Microsoft
tools. His recent focus has been on the new Silverlight tool set. Greg
will be sharing knowledge recently acquired at conferences during March.
