Meet "Dax", my idea for a mascot (not official).

I like both the "blue monster campaign" and SIlverlight and given I'm dabbling around in 3D at the moment, I decided to play around with the idea of combining the two. Note : This is not the official mascot for Silverlight, instead it's simply me mucking Read More...

POC #1 - Project Harmony (pt1) (Silverlight & Flash)

I've been enjoying the overall experience of what Silverlight has to offer since I started with Microsoft back in January 07. That being said, I've often been an internal "goto" person at times for some Flash advice on behalf of Microsoft customers Read More...

I interact a lot around discussions in the Rich Interactive/Internet Application (RIA) space. I read as much as I can on it and keep tabs on what I find interesting around theories associated to RIA. I also engage folks whom never have even heard the Read More...

Taking on the RIA fight, Adobe, Microsoft and Scoble.

I stumbled upon Scoble's post around how great it was to see Ryan Stewart being agnostic in terms of praising Silverlight via his blog. I guess I didn't really pay attention to this, as Ryan's always been one of these guys that generally has a great pulse Read More...

Performing a hitTest with Silverlight

In my Silverlight coding travels, I've found the urgent need to carry out a hitTest to determine where my end-users mouse is currently located but also what elements are underneath it within Silverlight. So what's a hitTest you ask? well essentially it's Read More...

Some minor Silverlight assumptions/queries.

It's been an interesting couple of days for me, as I've meet some developers in both business meeting setting and via social setting (aka WebJam ). In my chats with these developers, they all seem very keen to learn more about Silverlight but have hesitations Read More...

Going flex to Silverlight: The basics (easy stuff first).

Introduction This is going to probably annoy some, and signal mixed messages but overall the approach I am taking is to provide a context driven learning path on how to go from Adobe Flex coding to Microsoft Silverlight. I really don't want these posts Read More...

The Rich Web, The Rich PC & The Rich Device.

I was going to do a MIX07 wrap-up , but it's been done to death and to be honest, I spent a bulk of my MIX07 experience meeting and greeting a large number of folks whom attended (I counted around 40 business cards at one stage). That being said, the Read More...
