Silverlight is the new hot topic within rich internet application development. But what is it exactly? How can it be used with existing .NET web applications? Is it an alternative to Flash in all scenarios?

In this talk Gergely Orosz will be giving a brief overview of what Silverlight is, how it works and what potential it has. He will show how to develop a simple application where he will introduce the key concepts of Silverlight development and highlight the differences and similarities with traditional WinForms/WebForms development.


Speaker:

Gergely Orosz is working for Scott Logic as a financial software developer. He has a background in enterprise content management and web development. He has been using Silverlight since version 1.0 and was awarded 3rd place on the Microsoft Imagine Cup world finals for a solution partially built on Silverlight 2 Beta in 2008.
