PDC Session: Silverlight 4 Beta Overview

Published on November 19, 2009 in work. 11 Comments Tags: , , .

Thank you to everyone who came to my overview talk yesterday!

Silverlight 4 Overview Talk

 

My session video has already been posted online.  You can also download the deck here.

You can find online all the other Silverlight PDC session videos.

As promised, you’ll find the code for all the demos below (and links to run the app, where possible).

 

But first, a few thank yous….

I got help from a bunch of people on the Silverlight team while putting together the demos and content for this talk.  So a big thank you to all of you!  (And to Walter VonKoch on the IE team for help with the Windows RSS Feed Service apis.) 

Also, a HUGE “shout out” to the Silverlight team.  As I mention in the talk, we’ve shipped three versions of Silverlight in less than 2 years… and to follow that with a Beta of Silverlight 4 so soon afterwards… it’s just amazing.  :)
