The Sydney REMIX08 Keynote is just about to start, and in about an hour I'll be presenting "What's new in Silverlight 2" together with Jose Fajardo. The main demo of my part of the talk is YouCard, a Silverlight 2 application aggregating content about your friends from Twitter and Flickr. The idea is basically to create something similar to Xbox 360 Gamer Cards to give you a quick summary of your friends latest tweet and pictures.
The application touches on many of the concepts of Silverlight 2, such as:
- Layout controls
- User controls
- Styling and skinning
- Local storage
- Network access
- Data binding
- Animations and 2D graphics
You can try the application at http://follesoe.no/silverlight/youcard (or click the picture). Enter your friends Twitter name and click add. Flip the card to enter their Flickr feed URL. If you like it, check out the source code as well.
If you have any questions or comments about the session or code just drop me a comment.
See you at REMIX08!
