• Light Up the Web with Silverlight
  Peter Laudati, Developer Evangelist, Microsoft

In this session, you'll learn all about Silverlight from a developer's perspective, including how to build rich, interactive applications using Visual Studio, as well as Microsoft's powerful new designer tool, Expression Blend. You'll also see how to create dynamic experiences with the Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML), how to manipulate the overall application or experience with code, and how to retrieve data and media from a Web service and incorporate it all into a Silverlight application.

Bio: In his current role, Peter works with the developer community in New York and New Jersey to support area user groups, code camps, and other events. Previously, he worked as a consultant in Microsoft's services division.
