Silverlight 2.0 allows you to kiss Javascript goodbye
Presenter: Doug Nelson
Abstract:
When most people think of Silverlight, the thoughts and discussions are all about rich media, WPF support, Flash replacements. While all of this is certainly a significant part of Silverlight, there is also a very rich backend sub system, programmed in the .Net language of your choice and running on the client browser. This provides a headless side to Silverlight that traditional applications can incorporate to greatly minimize the amount javascript coding required for a rich UI experience. This presentation will focus on Silverlight HTML integration, network sockets support and isolated storage support. Finally, nothing but .Net from the bowels of the enterprise to web client interface.
