Today I put together some notes around what the main differences are between a Silverlight 4 application running in-browser Vs. out-of-browser (OOB) with elevated trust enabled (elevated trust is new in SL4). After compiling them i realized it would make a good reference blog post, so here it is: SL 4 (in-browser) ...
Yesterday http://maps.bing.com released a site update, I must admit the simpler interface and new features are a welcome change. But as a developer what excites me more is the release of the SDK’s. Integrating mapping technology into various web products is a huge deal and the level of integration possible with the Silvelright control is key to my excitement level (i’m such a Silverlight geek!) To get you (and me) started I've compiled this simple set of key links that should clear up any confusion caused by the official site: ...
Today a friend (thanks Mike) reported that Cranky Geeks podcast #189 started to make claims (about 11:01 in) that Silverlight was “dead”. This is crazy, Silverlight is a successful and powerful technology, I would more believe that peace has finally come to the middle east then this news. So just to be fair, I don't work for the Silverlight team and have no inside knowledge, but based on common sense, Internet Searches and previous knowledge my best bet is that John got confused (what else is new?) and mixed up Silverlight Streaming with Silverlight itself. ...
In this episode we talk about Dmitry cutting the cable, new PHP 5.3 release, IE8 features / new ad campaign and TwitterMatic. Finally we jump into our interview with Shawn Wildermuth and discuss PRISM v2 in Silverlight, the MVVM design pattern and how PRISM makes building complex Silverlight applications easier.

Thank you to everyone who attended my presentation yesterday (at the NYC Silverlight group) on Silverlight 2 + PRISM. Below is a link to my slides for your review: Also, here is a direct link to all the documentation and installation + Quickstarts that I used in my demo: Composite Client Application Guidance (Feb 2009) Different presentation in the future In hindsight I really wish that I would have structured my presentation totally differently, this was a hard and large topic to present. In the future I hope to do better, but at the...

Today I had one of those moments when while working I opened some random link from a Twitter post that seemed interesting. What I saw literally blew me away. The screenshot above shows a clip from a Channel9 video posted on Adam Kinneys blog, yes you’re seeing the original Quake but what's really impressive is that its running inside a browser using Silverlight 2! Wow, thats just freaking cool. So the credit here goes to Julien Frelat, a 31-year old French developer with experience in game development who ported the Quake engine to C# and...
I want to thank everyone who attended my presentation today at the NYC .NET User group on Silverlight 2. It was really great to see such a large crowd and so many familiar faces. Above is a link to my presentation including all notes and links. I plan to post the source code for the demos as well at a later time, simply no time to do so today.
I am extremely exited to help promote Tim Heuer’s post on the release of Silverlight 2, RC0. Tim has done an excellent job describing exactly what this release means to the developer community and end users, so check it out here: http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2008/09/25/silveright-rc0-released-for-developers.aspx Summary For anyone who just wants a summary of Tim’s post here are the points I think are the most important to communicate: This release is for DEVELOPERS ONLY The intent is to get DEVELOPERS debugging their code against this build before the...
