MVVM Smack Down Videos Now Online

12 Dec

In November myself and some friends presented an “MVVM Smack Down” at the North Texas Silverlight User Group.  We did a head to head comparison of Prism 4, The MVVM Light toolkit, Caliburn Micro, and Jounce.  It was presented with a bit of friendly banter and was meant really to enlighten, compare, and contrast more than to judge the various frameworks.

The videos are available here:

 

For many of us this was our first technical presentation in front of a public audience.  There was areas for improvement and I didn’t have as much time as I would have liked, but I think all things considered it went fairly well.

I also wanted to give a special thanks to Shawn Weisfeld for recording the sessions for INETA (and all the sessions he records).

 
 

Code and Slides from Introduction to Silverlight Talk

This morning I gave a talk called “Introduction to Silverlight” at the North Texas PC User Group.

I had a great time giving this talk. Silverlight is the most fun technology Microsoft has created (Well, after the Xbox of course).  I enjoy having the opportunity to share that fun with others.
