Tonight I had the distinct pleasure of giving a presentation at the Utah County .NET User Group on the topic of Silverlight - specifically Silverlight 1.1 Alpha.  It was a blast!  Honestly, I was a little nervous going into it, having never really presented on the topic and being relatively new to it myself, but I had a great time.  We talked about Silverlight (previously known as WPF/E) and used Visual Studio “Orcas” with Expression Blend and did some really cool things.  We talked about XAML, created custom controls, retrieved a file from the server and read its contents, automated the HTML DOM from the Silverlight .NET code, did the reverse (called .NET methods from JavaScript), and much more!

If you missed it, never you fear because I'll be addressing the topic at the September 2007 Utah .NET User Group meeting.

Thanks all for coming and to Scott Golightly for giving me this opportunity to present.
