This is a cool use of Azure. The city of Miami tool their “311” data around potholes, trash pickup issues, recycling issues, broken sidewalks and the like and put that data in Azure. The next step is that they leveraged Bing Maps and Silverlight to visualize those issues spread on a map of the city. The solution takes advantage of virtually unlimited storage and processing power, provides the ability to quickly address service requests and implement updates even during peak times such as hurricane...

When I was preparing for RIAPalooza, I created and blogged about Creating a Simple Silverlight Countdown Blog badge. It was great but I wanted to updated it for the next event and realized that recompiling it was not really a user friendly option. The answer is that I updated the widget to have a level of parameterization so that I could easily update it without having to recode everything. My write up and source code are at - Updating the Simple Silverlight Countdown Blog badge...
I’m going to be speaking at RIAPalooza in about two weeks, well more specifically at the time of this writing it’s 10 days, 12 hours, 48 minutes and 45 seconds. :) I’m going to be tag teaming with Mike Labriola again talking about “10 questions about RIA you haven’t had the courage to ask”.

If you happen to have any questions, feel free to shoot them to me in the comments section on this post. Anyways,...
I was asked on Friday by a friend how one can consume JSON in Silverlight. At the time, I just said start with the System.Json namespace and I’ll get you a sample later. Well, here’s a sample and a peek into my head because I couldn’t just stop with creating the sample that he needed. In the end, I did a couple of different Silverlight examples including leveraging the JsonObject and LINQ. Then I ended up doing samples in raw JavaScript, MSAjax, Prototype and JQuery. Finally I ended it all up by...
I was just on a cool webcast called the .NET Coffee Break Show. I did a short show on getting started with IronRuby and Silverlight. Because the show is supposed to be just 30 minutes or so, I didn't get into my usual preaching about the Ruby programming language or why people should use a dynamic language. Instead I just stated the fact that I really like Ruby and I really like Silverlight and I especially like the combination of the two. I've got a walk through on getting started with IronRuby...
It's been an amazing month. I had the opportunity to take a tour around Europe speaking about Silverlight. I got to see a lot of different countries, speak to a lot of different people, hear a lot of different visions and opinions and really experience how global of a company Microsoft truly is. So what was I talking about? I was really talking about building Rich Internet Applications with Silverlight from an architect's perspective. The first part of the talk is really more about usability and...
