Editor's Notes
- Introduction – asked to give overview of Microsoft tools for developing software
- Example of environments that Microsoft tools can develop for – transferable skills
- This session will focus on building for Windows and for the Web (silverlight)
- Brief high-level overview of .net framework – set of functions, framework, provided to make development easier
- Silverlight is like flash, except with v3 you can install on your machine. Can use most of .net framework, so programming for web is just as easy and elegant as programming for windows
- How VS and Blend can be used together by developers + designers to produce great looking, sturdy apps
- More detail on use with windows
- Example app possibly with demo
- Benefits of programming in .net and with vs and blend, but can be deployed to all OSs and on the web via plugin
- Example live demo of silverlight used professionally – will look good on cv etc
