Silverlight at the LCNUG

Posted by Sergio on 2008-08-29

Last night I attended another LCNUG meeting. I think it's great that we have this new group forming in the northern suburbs of Chicago. It's definitely not easy for us suburbanites to attend CNUG's meeting in the West 'burbs or even the Chicago ALT.NET meetings downtown. It's special convenient for me because it's only 10 minutes from home.

This time the presentation was about Silverlight. Tim Stall gave us a very nice and engaging rundown of this new technology — it was not your off-the-mill introduction talk. The questions from the audience were very interesting and Tim was very honest about the strengths and shortcomings of the tool. It was especially interesting to discuss ways to bring SilverLight into your organization.
