Magenic hosted Silverlight web casts

 Starting in September I will be speaking, along with several co-magenicons on a Silverlight webinar series. I will be sharing the talks with Rocky Lhotka, Anthony Handley, and Jason Rainwater all avid speakers, all mvp's, and all with their own expertise on the matter of Silverlight. It should be really interesting.

The series will consist of 5 different talks on migrating to silverlight. Check out the Magenic website for more details. The schedule is as following:

September 15, 2009 - "Why Silverlight" - Rocky and Myself

With the launch of Silverlight 3, it is clear that Microsoft is putting more energy into Silverlight than any other aspect of their platforms. Will silverlight impact you and your applications? Should you be looking at Silverlight?

This webcast will address these questions and more. You'll leave the webcast understanding why Silverlight is important, and armed witht he knowledge so you can decide if it makes sense for your applications.

September 30, 2009 - "Windows to Silverlight" - Rocky

Silverlight is a smart-client technology and so are Windows Forms and WPF. Windows forms is essentially in "maintenance mode" and Microsoft is clearly putting their energies into Silverlight and WPF. If you use Windows Forms today, you need a long-term strategy for your applications that almost certainly revolves around Silverlight and WPF.

This webcast will focus on the Silverlight option, providing you with the information you need to form a strategy that can get you from Windows Forms to Silverlight. From one smart-client technology to another, but also from the past to the future.

October 13, 2009 - "Web to Silverlight" - Rocky and Myself

Silverlight has its origins as a web technology, starting as a browser plugin. As such it is clearly positioned as a competitor to AJAX; as an alternative solution to user demands for more interactive and responsive web applications. Is Silverlight superior vs AJAX? To HTML? When should you use traditional web technologies and when should you use Silverlight?

This webcast will answer these questions, and will dive behind the scenes to explain why Silverlight might be better than traditional web technologies for some tasks and not for others. Perhaps most importantly, you'll leave this webcast understanding how Silverlight can fit into your existing web application strategy.

October 28, 2009 - "Reimagining the UI in Silverlight" - Anthony and Jason

Silverlight and WPF rely on the underlying XAML language for describing the user interface. At first glance XAML might look a bit like HTML, but it is really not the same. XAML is compiled, and is able to describe UI elements, layout, animations and other rich levels of user interactivity. All without resorting to code or script. When you set out to build an application using XAML, you owe it to yourself and your users to consider how to leverage the power of the technology.

Join one of our Magenic Studios user experience experts in a discussion about the potential of a XAML-based user experience, and what it can mean to reimagine the UI with Silverlight. Your users can enjoy improved productivity, minimized training and often the thrill of seeing a boring business task become more compelling purely through the application of good user experience practices. 

November 11, 2009 - "Silverlight; Service-oriented vs. n-tier" - Rocky

Silverlight can be used to build service-oriented or n-tier systems. In a service-oriented system, the Silverlight application will use messages to interact with your server application. You literally write two applications that interact through a service interface. In an n-tier system, the Silverlight application runs the presentation and maybe some of the business layer, while your server runs the data access and some of the business layer; but all the layers are part of the same application.

SOA is a powerful approach to building software, and Silverlight works well with SOA, but service-orientation can be complex and expensive. N-Tier is a well understood and productive approach to building business applications, and Silverlight fully supports n-tier models, but n-tier can be tricky in an Internet setting. In this webcast you’ll learn about a spectrum of architectures, and you’ll leave with the knowledge you need to choose the right architecture for your applications.
