Thanks Philip, will check it out. Alastair showed off his Silverlight demo tonight at the Readify event and people were quite impressed it was a Silverlight app that he used to present the content with. It was a great event with a fantastic turnout. Finally, a Readify presence in Perth!
Also when Paul asked the room for a show of hands who were Silverlight developers it was me and one other guy. With 60 .net developers in the room, (thats pretty good for Perth, usually theres around 20-25) I thought there would be a few more... I'm sure hoping there will be more people taking it up, I can't do it all myself! lol.
