Silverlight 2 Beta 1 session

Step 1: First I go through 2-3 slides ensuring everybody realises that Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform web technology that utilises .NET in the browser.

Step 2: Demonstrate some apps to give an idea of the kind of rich apps we can build - a subset of these samples.

Step 3: After a slide on what needs to be installed I move to the AGENDA. My AGENDA slide has 5 items on it, which are the following 5 steps (4 to 8).

Step 4: Getting Started aka Hello World.

Step 5: Intro to XAML inc. developer-designer interaction using Blend.

Step 6: HTML Bridge.

Step 7: Networking.

Step 8: IsolatedStorage and OpenFileDialog (i.e. File System Access).

Step 9: Finally, a summary pointing to your one-stop URL for Silverlight: silverlight.net.


Thank you to those that attended (or plan to attend) this session.
