Silverlight Designer and Developer Network Our next meeting is on Thursday the 30th of April in Melbourne.
What's on? This meeting we will see Dave Glover, Developer Platform Evangelist from Microsoft give a primer on the new Silverlight 3 RIA Services feature. RIA Services aims to bring the client and server portions of your applications closer together. Also this meeting Jordan Knight (http://blog.webjak.net) from Readify will run through the exciting new features in Silverlight 3, and demonstrate how you might use them in a real working reference application. This in depth session will cover perspective 3D, pixel shaders, navigation features, out of browser and much more. Other concepts like Model-View-ViewModel, dependency injection, unit testing and designing template friendly (read designer friendly) applications will also be touched upon. WIN! Attendees will have the opportunity to win a copy of the full Expression 2 suite, worth $1000! When and Where? The date and time: Thursday April 30 at 5:30 PM for a 6:00 PM start. The venue is Microsoft Theatre, Level 5, 4 Freshwater Place, Southbank. Attendance is FREE, but please RSVP by entering your details in the registration tool on the site (http://www.sddn.org.au) or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. Pizza will be provided to keep those tummies from rumbling. Who will this group interest? The focus of the group is not just on developers. Traditionally developers have had great community support, whereas designers not so much... now that Silverlight 2 is out we plan to change this. Silverlight is as interesting for developers as it is for designers. Due in part to Silverlight's excellent separation of design and development concerns we have new problems to solve around finding the best ways to work together. To this end the SDDN will facilitate an ongoing discussion and promote the development of ideas and best practices for anyone who works with Silverlight.

Registering your interest helps us organise the meetings (and order the right amount of pizza)!
