Silverlight Vancouver User Group meeting recap

I just did a talk at the Vancouver Silverlight User Group (VanSLUG).

Title:
HTML5 and Silverlight 5: facts, assumptions and near future

Abstract:
“In this session, I will try to clarify what we hear (and not hear) around these technologies, maybe add a few guess on their role in Windows 8... as well as presenting a technical comparison between HTML5 and Silverlight 5: HTML vs XAML, tools, languages, databinding, performance, etc.”

 

It was a lot of fun and I think people enjoyed it!

As you can see I also had a lot of fun creating the slides while in the plane:

A few interesting links I showed during the talk:
