2010.1

The Philly ALT.NET user group is focused on the craft of software development and the continuous improvement of our skills as developers.  By identifying and discussing the best practices and principles that have been successful throughout our industry, we can help to establish a solid foundation for growing our own skills.  In 2009, members of the group started the "Foundation Series" which is a series of workshops and talks aimed at teaching or reaffirming some of the proven, core principles and practices of object-oriented software design.  This code camp, we've decided to dedicate our entire track to some of the content from our workshop series.  If you consider yourself more of a craftsman than a "code monkey," and you value quality and maintainability in your code - we think you'll enjoy our track!

This track will focus on all aspects of Silverlight. We will start with an introduction of Silverlight 4 and the new features it brings to the table. After that we will follow up with the new Touch APIs and how they apply to both Silverlight and Windows 7. Next up will be a session on how you can bring rich media to your Silverlight application using IIS Smooth Streaming and the Silverlight Media Framework. Due the significant role of Silverlight in the upcoming mobile space, we have a session on developing apps for the new Windows Phone 7 Series. To round out the day, we have a session on using Animation in Silverlight to create rich, next generation line of business applications.
