For anyone who knows me, you know that I am considered the freak at my company because I have a strong level of experience with backend code, but I also love the graphic design side of the house. Most folks do one or the other, but I love the creativity of UI. So it was natural for a lot of the work I do to focus around web applications. When WPF came out, I loved it. It allowed for some really great UI experiences with a smaller amount of code. So I made the decision to have WPF be the focus of my "new technology" effort. I looked briefly at WPF/e, but had to focus!
Well since Microsoft formally announced Silverlight, the official name of WPF/e, I took another look at it. I am hooked again! This is really great! I can use what I have been learning about WPF and put it on the web. I can't help but just dive in! So I imagine you will be hearing more about it soon. I plan on adding a lot more entries here about my experiences with learning (and getting caught up) on Silverlight. Hopefully my experiences will help others getting started!
