Last Wednesday, Microsoft got the chance to host a presentation on Silverlight at Devoxx, a big 4-day Belgian Java-event in Antwerp. Yes, you read that correctly: a Java-event! :-) Microsofts’ Katrien De Graeve invited Ivan Porto Carrero and me to present a part of the talk to the audience – I would, off course, like to thank Katrien & Microsoft for this opportunity!
Katrien talked about Silverlight in general, Ivan about Silverlight & Dynamic Languages, and I talked about a Silverlight port of the Parleys.com-application we did at work.
We had a fun time, and we hope the people who saw us are now informed on what Silverlight is and what it can do – and maybe we even convinced one or two Java-developers? ;-)
For those of you who weren’t there (after all, I suppose most of the people reading this blog are MS-developers), the talk will be available at Parleys.com shortly, and you can download the presentation here.
