Event Details

Silverlight is the new hot topic within rich internet application development. But what is it exactly? How can it be used with existing .NET web applications? Is it an alternative to Flash in all scenarios?

In this talk Gergely Orosz will be giving a brief overview of what Silverlight is, how it works and what potential it has. He will show how to develop a simple application where he will introduce the key concepts of Silverlight development and highlight the differences and similarities with traditional WinForms/WebForms development.

Gergely Orosz is working for Scott Logic as a financial software developer. He has a background in enterprise content management and web development. He has been using Silverlight since version 1.0 and was awarded 3rd place on the Microsoft Imagine Cup world finals for a solution partially built on Silverlight 2 Beta in 2008.

  1. You’re the type of developer who uses what works while keeping an eye out for a better way.
  2. You reach outside the mainstream to adopt the best of any community: Open Source, Agile, Java, Ruby, etc.
  3. You’re not content with the status quo. Things can always be better expressed, more elegant and simple, more mutable, higher quality, etc.
  4. You know tools are great, but they only take you so far. It’s the principles and knowledge that really matter. The best tools are those that embed the knowledge and encourage the principles (e.g. Resharper.)

…then you’re in the right place!

The Scotland Alt.Net group are a bunch of Scottish developers with an passion for software development in .Net and beyond.  We aim to try to meet monthly to share knowledge and argue.
