Tim Huckaby
Building Web Applications with Expression Blend, Expression Design, XAML and Silverlight 2.0

In this demo focused presentation you'll see how the power of Microsoft® Silverlight™ can be used to really “light-up” your applications. Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device plug-in for delivering the next generation of media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web.  It uses vector based graphics rendering, which results in better graphics and presentation.. Not only is Silverlight 2.0 a powerful platform for data visualization but it is also a browser based technology that gives you broad reach without a heavy client install.  And it’s’ cross platform!  Your Silverlight applications run identically on the Apple Macintosh (and other) platforms as they do on Windows.

Consistently rated in the top 10% of all speakers, and currently focused on RIA & Smart Client Technologies like WPF, VSTO and Silverlight, Tim Huckaby has been called a “Pioneer of the Smart Client Revolution”.  Tim has been awarded multiple times for the highest rated Keynote and technical presentations for Microsoft and numerous other technology conferences around the world.
