Silverlight 5

It wasn't that long ago that I was working on a visual studio 1.5 and then -----
??????? was it 2 ?????????? and ( no three ) and 4 and 5 and 6 -----------------

This whole silverlight thing seems like that ----- I can't figure out the changes from 2 to 3 /// then they changed to 4 /// and before I can figure out what's happening in 4 they want to change to ???? 5 ?????

Well ---- that should make me happy --- huh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nevermind ---- MVVM ---- that's a whole 'nother dark little --- black whole
thingy ---- >>>>>>>>>>>

S0 ---- who thinks the guys at Oracle should be taking advantage of all of this ????

Silverlight Fire Starter

Don't know too much about Scott Gu or Guthrie in relation to silver light:

this is from a profile:

My name is Scott Guthrie. I live in Seattle and develop a few software products for Microsoft.

I run the development teams that build ASP.NET, Silverlight, WPF, CLR, IIS, Media Server, and the Visual Studio Tools for Web Development and Windows Phone 7.

I use this site to publish a variety of misc stuff that I hope people find interesting or useful.

ie works for Microsoft as the Product Manager of the .NET Framework.

I first became acquainted with him in regards to Nerd Dinner.

also codeplex....

Holy molly ---- this is an extraordinary thing ----
( I have not looked at it yet )

but I think it's really something for him to put this out there !!!!!!

You'll note this came out just before Halloween so I'm thinking
that it's too scary to read !!!!!!!!

Laurent Bugnion Again .....

I might have mentioned this was the guy who started it for
me .... that is my obsessive compulsions regarding silverlight.

but he's got a new book because of course there's a new version
of the beast .......

What did we do to deserve this ???????????????????

Sacha Barber

Not strictly a silverlight guy -----
he has all kinds of long and detailed postings on code project ----- don't know how many ----- but I'd think mainly a wpf guy actually a
wpf disiple ---- as I remember

His site :::: Sacha Barber:

Maybe I should mention he's english .....
I think ......

The bottom line is that I've learned alot
from his code and code project samples.

This is his mvvm stuff: mvvm

this is silverlight: not much

and codeproject:: there should be alot here!

Some people think he should write a book ----
which I heard him mention somewhere and he said

he doesn't think so ... you never know -- maybe he could
do something like a wpf adaptation of Leo Tolstoy war and peas.

quoting from his blog -------


I currently work for Microsoft as a program manager for Microsoft Silverlight, a web technology aimed at delivering rich internet experiences to users.


the man who makes mvps

But I don't know all that much about him other than the intro to John Papa's
book ....

I imagine he's busy ......
