We talked about:

2. What’s new in Silverlight 5

This time, I refrain myself from doing this kind of jokes:
This week in Ottawa, I did a full day workshop on Silverlight, as a pre-conference of the DevTeach Canadian event.
I showed how to build from scratch a business application, from the Db to the UI, covering these topics:
- Entity Framework
- WCF RIA Services
- DataBinding
- Sécurity (users and roles)
- Validation
- MVVM and Command
- OOB
- Animations, Styles and ControlTemplate in Blend
- Silverlight Spy tool (www.silverlightspy.com)

The app I built is from the MS hands-on-labs, you can get all the word doc and vs files there:
