Thanks all for coming out and participating in the conversation surrounding future web technologies and Silverlight 2 over the last week and a half. As promised this is my post outlining the various things that I presented including source code when available and all that other good stuff! Remember dozens of detailed session on all the cool new web stuff is available at http://sessions.visitmix.com. You can watch the "Olympic NBC Demo" as part of the MIX Keynote Video. VIDEO IIS 7.0 Bit Rate Throttling Module EXPRESSION VERSION 2 - HAS LAUNCHED http://www.microsoft.com/expression/ "ARROWHEAD" ScottGu has the lowdown on Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 Beta and the other Scott (who is coming to Tech.Ed NZ) asks the question of whether you should fear this release? Scott also chips in with a 7 video Introduction to ASP.NET Dynamic Data. Ivan Towlson, from Mindscape asked me a question during the Auckland session that I promised to publish the answer here. He asked: "Are we treating .NET 3.5 SP1 as a separate project type when it ships as part of multi-targeting in VS2008?" Scott Guthrie responded: No – you will still target it using the .NET 3.5 drop down in VS 2008. There is a separate checkbox though for whether you want to target the client-profile setup (which will allow you to get compile errors if you try and reference an assembly not in the client subset). For the next release of VS we are hoping to expand multi-targeting so that you can target not just big versions of frameworks, but also individual SPs as well. "DEEP ZOOM" View the Hard Rock Cafe memorabilia site. Take a look at BigPicture. Check out the updated Deep Zoom Composer and the PhotoZoom service. Also the code I based my Business Card demo (view it here - try tags "silverlight", "expression", "blue" or "card" to filter) was made available by Wilfred Pinto in his Dissecting Hard Rock Memorabilia post series. The DeepZoom Composer Forum is great place to ask q's about this stuff. SILVERLIGHT 2 - EXAMPLES I showed some examples of Silverlight applications in my session. Including the Magnify Glass demo that ships with Expression Blend 2 And the Microsoft Health Common User Interface (MSCUI) Silverlight 2 sample that uses a similar technique to magnify parts of a video of the heart. Jaime Rodriguez has the word on the Silverlight in Financial's Demonstrator including source code. I also showed the in some centres the Silverlight 2 Surface Demo that includes DeepZoom, with source code. DIGG SAMPLE IN SILVERLIGHT 2 The Digg Sample that I stepped through in the session (available for you to try online thanks to "free hosting" at http://silverlight.live.com) was based on ScottGu's great 8 part tutorial series. Dan Wahlin has taken these steps and made them available as bite sized videos. Creating Hello World With Silverlight 2 and VS 2008 Using Layout Management Using Networking to Retrieve Data and Populate a DataGrid Using Style Elements to Better Encapsulate Look and Feel Using the List Box and Data Binding to Display List Data Using User Controls to Implement Master Details Scenarios Using Templates to Customize Control Look and Feel Creating a Digg Desktop Version of Our Application Using WPF If you want to Start Learning Silverlight 2 there are tutorials, hands on labs (Swiss End-2-End example) and videos available to help you. Also if you are interested in design and UX Arturo has made his XAML Ready Agency training and also Silverlight Bootcamp For Designers available. Corrina Barber does a great job of "re-skinning" the Digg Sample App, and shares some great samples of control skinning as well. Jose from Cynergy took the demo much much further and also made his code available on codeplex. For Silverlight 1, the Silverlight learning snacks have just been made available. CHERRY Oh yeah and I can't leave without giving you all a cherry!

JavaScript is a massively popular language.  Programs written in JavaScript can be deployed to more users and more machines than any other language given the prominence of script-enabled web browsers and web surfing.  Yet the language hasn’t evolved since the spec was signed off in 1999. Why? At MIX08, we were lucky enough to get three of the world’s top JavaScript experts to talk to us about the future of the JavaScript from a language perspective, the “Zen” of JavaScript, and tips and tricks on performance and management of large projects.  Douglas Crockford is the guy who first identified and evangelized some of the techniques like closures and lambdas that are now mainstays of JavaScript ninjas.  He works at Yahoo! on JavaScript frameworks including the widely-use JavaScript toolkit in YUI.  Alex Russell is the creator of the popular Dojo Toolkit for JavaScript, and heavily involved in pushing improvements across the various runtimes.  Joseph Smarr is chief architect and employee #1 at Plaxo, and is a well-known expert on JavaScript best practices – you can see the talks he gave at Mozilla and Yahoo! on JavaScript performance.Enjoy!Low res file here.

We try to cool it on the proselytizing, while also keeping the iPhone SDK hype to a minimum. Both tasks are incredibly hard. In other news today, the Air Force is going to take charge of the Internet, using the sacred "six Ds" principle. Look out!

Some of the brains behind MIX08 went for drinks and discussion with me to talk about what’s new, what’s hot and what’s not about the upcoming consumer web conference happening once again in Vegas at the Venetian hotel on March 5-7, 2008. Why is Steve Ballmer keynoting? What’s the scoop with Guy Kawasaki? Do we really care about designers or is it a developer world? Will Microsoft have anything new to say? What’s the scoop with Silverlight? What's the difference between MIX and PDC (and TechED for that matter)? Who should attend MIX? Why? Be a fly on the wall and watch the conversation with the MIX team (forgive the lighting . . . it’s a little dark . . . we were in a real bar after all on a dark, rainy Seattle night). Then go and register at http://visitmix.com/2008 and take Thomas Lewis up on his offer for a free drink in Vegas! Enjoy. Lot's of candid info about MIX in this one.
