Silverlight 2 Video Tutorials with Jesse Liberty

March 28th, 2008 / Development in a Blink

There are 3 available HERE

I watched the first one “Using the Silverlight 2 Canvas”.

Highlights

  • This version is a read-only view of the Xaml in the designer
  • Grouping radio buttons with a canvas and using GroupName
  • Nesting element types
  • Inheriting left, top and color from the parent element

It’s a great Silverlight 2 tutorial.

Composing a screen layout from Xaml up is an interesting experience. Once you get the hang of it feels much faster than the drag, drop and setting of properties in the property grid.

The next tutorial use the Grid and Stack Panel.

In this show I chatted with Tim Vercruysse, Director - Software Development, Citi/Lava Technology.  We discussed the unique challenges that he faces, being in the financial services industry, and how they differ from what most people mean when they talk about "user experience".  Tim also talked about the main benefits - beyond user experience - that he sees from Silverlight and WPF.  Last, we wrapped up with a discussion of what developers in the financial services industry need to learn in order to stay relevant in this demanding environment.
