Jeff has a strong background in 3D graphics and animatio n and is also an accomplished author and instructor in that area — he ha s authored several books and numerous magazine articles related to 3D.&# 13\;\nAn early adopter of Silverlight\, Jeff’s interests lie in developi ng animation concepts and methodologies within Silverlight. As a develop er with design experience\, Jeff’s mission is to help bridge the gap bet ween design and development. His latest book\, “Foundation Silverlight 3 Animation” works to further this goal through a scenario-based approach . \;\n \;\nTOPIC: Procedural Animation in Microsoft Silverlight 3\;\nCome and see how trigonometry and trigonometric functions can help us create movement in Microsoft Silverlight. Trigonometry is the study o f how the angles and lengths of sides of triangles relate to one another \, and is quite useful in programming Silverlight applications. \;\n We'll talk about how to apply trigonometry within Silverlight to create free-form rotations\, calculate the distance between objects\, use Sine curves to create oscillating movement\, and more. The math will be demon strated in a scenario-based approach in order to make it easier to under stand\, even if you slept through math class. \;\n \;\nWarmup - Sm ooth Streaming w/ VideoRx \;\nAt the beginning of the meeting (6pm) R obert Reinhardt\, co-author of the Microsoft Expression Blend 2 Visual Q uickstart Guide and the Flash Bible series\, will present his latest onl ine encoding service\, videoRx.com.
