You had me from WPF/E 001 - Intro/Install

You had me from WPF/E

If you've spent much time at WynApse.com, it doesn't take long to realize that I'm not only a Silverlight Fanatic, but I've been at it since WPF/E.

I've been out of blogging my own material for a while and have a strong desire to get back at it. I like helping folks learn how much fun and how simple it is to get started with Silverlight, and once they get comfortable with the concepts they can go start reading some of the many advanced blog posts out there.

I kicked this idea around with 4 people whose opinions I respect. Two enthusiastically said "Yes -- go for it!". One said detailed tutorials are needed on somewhat narrow technological concepts. The fourth said I should build something really huge a post at a time.

All good information, and the 3rd and 4th may end up being side excursions. SilverlightCream.com, for example, is in drastic need of an overhaul, and what better place to use Silverlight than that ??

But I think I'm going to begin as I began way back... from the beginning. Hopefully I won't be doing these just for my own purposes, but we'll see.

Valentine's Day is a good day to begin a new love, so Happy Valentine's Day to everyone, and welcome to the next step in my relationship with Silverlight. Follow along and it can be yours as well.

The first post is up and is all about where to get Silverlight, how to get started, and where to find some bloggers to follow. A new project in Silverlight will be next, and I haven't thought beyond that yet :)

Stay in the 'Light!
