Abstract:

If you've written one too many data entry applications or are otherwise stuck in a development vortex, it's time to walk into the light, Silverlight that is.

If you've heard about it, or have been constantly badgered by the Microsoft site to download it, this is your chance to see what it can actually do. In this session, we'll walk through developing a Texas Hold'em game in Silverlight.

Guaranteed to be a 97.89% buzzword-free reminder of how writing software can be fun.
