February Perth .Net UG Silverlight talk

Thursday last week I did a presentation on RIA and Silverlight for the Perth .Net Community of Practice and as promised here’s the links from the presentation.

Some great examples of how RIA can be used to enhance the user experience of a website.

Shine Draw(http://www.shinedraw.com/) – Flash vs Silverlight repository, compares various animation effects implemented in Flash and Silverlight and lets the visitors vote which is better.

Thanks to everyone who came to the presentation, if you have any feedback or questions, don’t hesitate to drop me a line.

Cheers.
