New Silverlight Showcases and Feeds

posted @ Wednesday, November 26, 2008 9:15 AM | 9 Comments

If you want some great Silverlight information, be sure to subscribe to at least two feeds: Microsoft Silverlight Bloggers and Silverlight community feeds. I’ve recently just added a bunch of great feeds to both of these including all the members of the Silverlight Toolkit team and some Silverlight MVPs such as John Papa.

There are also a bunch of resources being added to the Silverlight community site over the next month. We also added 27 new showcase entries to the Silverlight Showcase on the site. One in particular that I think is interesting is a project Gantt representation done in Silverlight with complete capabilities for moving the timeline, etc.

This example, created by iLog, demonstrates some creative uses of Silverlight for line of business applications. Check out the other 27 new showcase entries on the site and subscribe to the feeds to stay up-to-date on what is happening on the Silverlight community.

Speaking of LOB, what happened to your blog on LOB Tim? Is it still sitting and pending for approval?

Ben: As is such with site managers, other content priorities, etc. it is held up. It was supposed to launch last week, but got reset to this week. So fingers crossed.

Maaan, I've been walking around with fingers crossed for the past two months. I think my fingers are stuck now... ;-)

Ha! I think for pros like you it won't be as exciting coming out of the gate, but I have a couple of things planned. The first one is just authentication/authorization integration building up for part 2. We'll also show MVVM pattern development and some other sample apps that are out there.

Tim, I enjoy reading your stuff and particularly watching your videos. I creates a sense of awareness if I'm the right track or not and you are a good communicator!
