Abstract
Join Microsoft Developer Evangelist G. Andrew Duthie as he takes you on the journey of an experienced web developer tackling a first major Silverlight 2 application. You'll hear about his experience working with two of his fellow evanglists to prepare an application to help the folks at Tech-Ed connect attendees with local user groups and events in their area, and the challenges they faced along the way, including differences in styling between web and Silverlight applications, asynchronous programming trickiness, and the need for good troubleshooting tools. You'll learn that in the end, Silverlight allowed the team to deliver a very cool application, but there was plenty for them to learn along the way!
