I’ve had the opportunity to speak at a lot of cool places around the world but you can’t beat speaking in Hawaii!  I’ve looked forward to this trip for quite awhile since I get to talk about a brand new technology in a really nice location. Thanks to everyone that attended.  We had a great crowd with a lot of questions and interest in Silverlight 2.  For those that made it (or for those of you who are interested) you’ll find the slides here and code samples here.  The talk covered the following topics.

- Creating Silverlight 2 Projects in Visual Studio 2008

- XAML Fundamentals

- Using Silverlight 2 Layout and User Input Controls

- Defining and Using Styles

- Data Binding and Networking Support

- Animation Features

The content is based on a new Silverlight 2 class I wrote that we’re offering at The Wahlin Group.
