Brad Abrams : ReMixBoston07

Silverlight Mac\Windows debugging play-by-play

Martin saw my keynote at ReMix Boston and wanted to try the demo himself to find out if it was all just demo-magic or not ;-). Well, I am ~~relieved~~ happy to say he was successful! His detailed step-by-step instructions are the best I have seen for setting this up.

Windows Vista / Mac debugging a Silverlight app using Visual Studio 2008

Maybe we can talk Martin into doing the Linux part of the demo over the new year holiday ;-)

Brad Abrams' DotNetRocks Interview

I love the DNR guys.. They have a great show and I was fortunate enough to be able to talk in person to Carl Franklin at ReMixBoston. While I know the show is not exactly Steely Dan's "Home At Last" , it was a lot of fun.

The argentiferous part of the show starts at about 11:00

I talked a bit about the end to end demo I did at ReMixBoston..

We talked some about where Silverlight 1.0 is great (Video), where Silverlight 1.1 will really take off (RIAs)

I talked some about where the developer experience is going wrt to web application and Silverlight development is going.. Purely my personal thoughts, but maybe interesting..

We also touched on the developer\designer story we have now and how we can grow into the designer world...

I had a chance to talk about IIS7's bit rate throttling feature.

We sung the praises of Moonlight and Mono and how well Miguel's team has got that stuff going..

We talked about some cool applications being done in Silverlight today..

We also had a chance to talk about PopFly, which is now open to everyone!

You can find links to videos for my keynote and many of the sessions from ReMix Boston here.

Enjoy!

Silverlight Showcase updated...

We have some great wins with Silverlight 1.0... A few I showed off at ReMix Boston were

The HSN folks are doing live streaming, plus you get a "Buy" button that takes you to their ecommerice site with the product information already filled in. In addition you can watch sales pitches from earlier in the day based on your preferences.. this gives you a chance to control your viewing experience. Very cool stuff.

I also love this Emmys.. site... It gives you very smooth access to a wide range of video sorted and cataogrized... I love how video is deeply embedded in the app...

Now you can see the full show case... I love the fact that you can even add your own and rate other items.. If you have (or see) a cool Silverlight site, add it! Go through the list and rate a few of your favorites..

thanks!

Popfly for everyone!

Today at the Web 2.0 Summit, Ballmer announced that we are opening Popfly to a public beta today! It is a completely free way to build really cool Silverlight based mashups. There are tons and tons of pre-built components from Twitter, to Virtual Earth, to Flickr.. I can't wait to see what you build..

Here is the cool little game I built on stage at ReMix Boston..

If you build something cool, drop me a line, I'd love to hear about it!

ReMix Boston -- the fun doesn't end!
