New Show Format!
This show we try a new format. We’ll keep putting out shows in the old format as well, but this is a good chance to have a less formal discussion about Silverlight news and information. The idea is to talk about the week’s Silverlight news with a couple of my favorite Silverlight folks:
Brian Henderson is a Silverlight Designer/Architect and INETA Community Champion. A few of the activities Brian can be found participating are flying (pilot), kayaking, hiking, or just taking video/photos.
Kelly White is a Senior Software Engineer with MyContent.com. He previously lead the PDXUX.Net user group, and now runs the Portland Silverlight User Group with Erik Mork. Kelly has presented at user groups and code camps throughout the northwest on both Silverlight and WPF.
