Workshop: "Developing RIAs with Silverlight 2.0"
Time:
Friday 09:00 - 17:00
Location:
Musikhuset Nr. 224
Abstract:
Silverlight 2.0 is helping developers
create fantastic browser based applications leveraging XAML and .NET similar to
how .NET developers deliver WPF desktop applications today. With rich animation,
interaction and graphics at our disposal – building ton notch
applications with a browser based delivery system. With the user experience as
the focus, a properly designed and built RIA can save time and money.
In this deep dive tutorial, we will cover building a true RIA
experience with Silverlight 2.0. Importantly, this is not a deep dive into working
with media. While Silverlight does that well and we will touch on integrating
media into the applications, the focus of this tutorial is line of business
applications with a fantastic user experience. We will be working with Visual
Studio 2008 and Expression Blend 2.5 to build these applications.
If you want to work along with the labs that will be built
up front, bring your laptop with the requisites listed on http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/.
Your take home will be a copy of the lab instructions for you to work during or
after the tutorial.
