Mike Downey was deep in the Flash world (Principal Evangelist/Senior Product Manager on the AIR/Flash teams) before switching to Silverlight. Now, he works for the devil (er... Microsoft). On Tuesday, January 12, 2010, we hear his story.
How does Silverlight stack up against Flash?
How does Silverlight Out Of Browser measure up to Flex?
How does media work in Silverlight?
Warmup - MVVM in Practice
At the beginning of the meeting our own Alexis Jasso will be giving a short MVVM demonstration. It will be an example of how to convert non-MVVM code into the MVVM pattern.
