January Silverlight Meetup on SL Line-of-Business Apps

Jeremy Likness of Wintellect will be speaking to the meetup group on Wednesday, Jan 20 about building Line-of-Business Applications using Silverlight.

Learn how to architect business Silverlight applications using various frameworks, how to build scalable and dynamic application experiences, how to write testable Silverlight code and test it using the Unit Testing Framework, and how to leverage RIA WCF services for your applications. Jeremy will also cover how to plug an existing legacy application into a Silverlight front end.

This is the topic we originally planned for the November meeting but quickly changed due to the announcement of the Silverlight 4 beta on the same day as our meeting and Shawn Wildermuth's polymath ability to quickly throw together a Silverlight 4 presentation on the spot.

Please help us welcome in a new year of Silverlight development at 5 Seasons Brewing at The Prado.
