I did a session last Wednesday (9 Apr) -- introducing our Rich Internet Application technology Silverlight to our MSDN subscribers.

In the session, we re-acquainted with Silverlight 1.0 and its AJAX-like programming model, but dedicated most of the time to introduce Silverlight and the new .NET development paradigm.

Comic Viewer SampleI've put the slides from the presentation, as well as the comics-book viewer sample project used for the code walk-through on my SkyDrive and you can find them here.

 

The sample code demonstrates Silverlight 2 controls (particularly Layout), control data-binding, asynchronous data fetching and LINQ. Much of the work was based off samples by Joe Stegman and Scott Guthrie
