Seattle Code Camp v3 is goint to be held this weekend at the DigiPen campus. Right now I"m slotted to speak from 3:15 to 4:30 on Saturday. My topic is Uses for Silverlight 1.0. Here's some random thoughts about what I'll be presenting.
There's a lot of noise being made about Silverlight, but what are people actually building with it? Kelly will briefly show some examples of what is being done (both with and without video) and then do a walk though of how he is recreating a flash app in Silverlight. He'll be talking about his struggles in getting the animation to work, in addition to showing how he first created the app in WPF which helped identify features which are/may be lacking in Silverlight.
I wrote this abstract in October last year, back when the code camp was originally scheduled for mid-November. A lot has changed since then, and a lot hasn't, but one thing that has changed is I now understand Silverlight better and I have more working demos that I consider "real-world." Hah, don't let that last statement fool you. While it is a true statement, I'm really just getting started with this. Wait till mid-March when I'm really cooking with my Silverlight 1.0 apps. At least, I hoping the improvement and growth trends continue. I have full confidence that my skills will continue to improve, as I'm guaranteed to be kept away from the golf course until at least sometime mid-April. 
This code camp will be very fun and very cool. Phil Haack will be there presenting on ASP.NET MVC. I'm way excited to meet and listen to Phil. Brad Wilson will be talking about xUnit and dependency injection. Jason Haley will be talking about Reflector. Adam Kinney will be talking Silverlight and making me feel nervous and underprepared. Ted Neward will be there spewing forth raw knowledge and pearls of wisdom which I won't be able to comprehend. Walt Ritscher will be talking WPF. And then there are tons of others who I haven't mentioned and yet deserve just as much attention because they are equally–if not more–smart, famous, and worth listening to.
This Seattle Code Camp is shaping up to one you definitely don't want to miss. If you can work this into your schedule, you'll definitely be thankful you did.
