Title: Introduction to Databinding with Silverlight
Description:
Dive into the very latest *released* Microsoft technologies by combining Silverlight 2, Entity Framework, and WCF Services. In this talk we develop a browser-based Silverlight application that handles form-based CRUD (Create Read Update Delete) operations. All the development is done using free tools downloaded from Microsoft. The session assumes familiarity with .NET concepts but no knowledge of Silverlight is required. The coding is in VB. Come and judge for yourself whether Silverlight is ready for business.
Intended Audience Skill Level: Intro Silverlight
Date/Time: Thursday, April 16th, 2009 from 6:30-9:30pm (talk starts at 7)
