Silverlight Cream for May 15, 2008 -- #275

Hanu Kommalapa on Silverlight for the Enterprise, Joel Neubeck on Circular Collision Animation, O'Reilly's Up-to-Date book, Mike Taulty and Ormond with SL2 screencasts, and Tad VanFleet with an NFL Free Agent SL2 App.

From SilverlightCream.com:

Silverlight for the Enterprises - Fundamentals: I came across a link to Hanu Kommalapa, and have added him as a SL Blogger. In this article, he goes through a very nice workup on what all is needed to manage Silverlight in the Enterprise. He goes into Libraries, packaging, and deployment ... all good!
Silverlight Circular Collision Animation: Joel reprises his circlular control conept of a few days ago, and this one has the controls colliding and bouncing around inside a fixed 'orbit' ... and the source just makes it more perfect :)
Updates for Essential Silverlight 2 Up-to-Date: If you haven't grabbed a copy of O'Reilly's Silverlight 2 Up-to-Date book, you should! This is a very interesting format... I'm not sure I've seen it done before, but hey... I don't get out much :) ... they are producing updates to the book on an irregular basis. Yesterday the link hit for the first update and it is 70 pages worth! I'm wondering how many blank pages there are in the back of mine :) ... good book, good information, and how cool is it to stay up-to-date like this... oh hey... a good title... :)
50 New Silverlight 2 Beta 1 Screencasts: Mike Taulty referenced the fact that he and Mike Ormond did some videos in their 'spare time' ... dang... how much spare time do any of us have, and these two produced 50... yeah FIFTY screencasts... yikes... that'll give you something to do during Memorial day weekend :)
My Personal Project - NFL Free Agency Movement: By way of Pete Brown, Tad VanFleet has a very nice SL2 NFL application running. No source, but it's a very cool app and a nice body of work to check out... good job!
