For those of you who attended my MSND broadcast on Silverlight 3.0 ‘simple but effective animation techniques’ on Channel9, I have just uploaded the code for both version 2.0 and 3.0 of Silverlight.  The 3.0 version has one additional demo focusing on the new cool effects you can apply to UI elements.  The demo specifically shows the shadow effect.  This feature has been available in WPF and it is now available in Silvelight.  The rest of the demos are identical.

I have posted the slide deck and code samples for my most recent presentation on WPF and Silverlight resources, styles and templates.  I have received many positive comments on this presentation, which btw was very nice.  It covers just about all key concepts you need to know about the fundemantals of styling your UI and/or crreating your own custom templates in the WPF world.  Just register on the site and go to the Company/Articles menu to get it.

Sorry it took a bit longer than expected. Slide decks and code samples for my presentations at Code Camp 2009 in Fullerton (WPF Animation Techniques and Sql Server 2008 New Features) are uploaded to HarborObjects web site. Simply register on the site and look for two files named "Code Camp Jan2009....".

I have two presentations coming at Cal State Fullerton Code Camp on January 25th.
One is an overview of animation techniques in WPF and Silverlight. This is one of my better presentations. It provides a good overview of animation capabilities of WPF. Find out more details here.
The other is an overview of the new cool capabilities of SQL server 2008 one can benefit from immediately. This is intended for developers and DBAs. Find out more details here.

I will be a proctor for a 3:00 hour training session on Silverlight 2.0 this January 15th at QuickStart Facilities in Irvine from 6:00PM to 9:00PM. The session was full in less than an hour after announcement! This is a great MSDN event since everyone will be provided with a virtual machine to get hands on experience developing code for Silverlight. I am working with Microsoft and other OC.NET user group folks to see if we can repeat the session sooner than later. Lynn Langit of Microsoft is working hard to arrange at least two more presentations in Irvine and San Diego within the next two months. If possible, I will be arranging earlier sessions here in Orange County. Additional details can be found here.
