Building RIA Event slides + source code + resources
Thanks to Ravi Nar and the Vista Squad folks for participating yesterday at the “Building RIA for Desktop, Web & Mobile using Silverlight & WPF” session in London. I really enjoyed presenting with you and answering your questions (it’s been a while since I had so many questions in such a short timeframe )…and talk with .NET, LINQ, Mobile, ASP.NET…as well as Python and Flash developers.
As promised, you can download here the slides from the presentation. A video of the session, thanks to Ian, will be available on the Vista Squad videos repository.
I’d like to give here a few links as follow-up to the presentation:
1) WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation)
WPF is a next-generation presentation system for building Windows client applications with visually stunning user experiences. With WPF, you can create a wide range of both standalone and browser-hosted applications.

I’ll publish the source code for some of the demo you’ve seen yesterday in the next post.
2) Silverlight
Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device plug-in for delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web. (Luckily you all already knew the definition )

- Deep Zoom with Tag Support
- NHS Silverlight Patient Journey Demonstrator (Martin, Sergei)
- MoonLight
Again, I’ll publish in the next days the source code for the demo you’ve seen yesterday.
3) Silverlight for Mobile
Bringing Silverlight to devices expands the reach that developers and designers have when creating rich Internet applications. This enables them to easily leverage content, assets, and code that they are using today for browser-based Silverlight applications. Support for Silverlight on devices will quickly help change the landscape for the types of user experiences consumers can expect from their phones by bridging rich interactivity, wireless data, media and more.
