We wil have a presentation from Keith Elder: Title: Building the Nillius Filius of Twitter and Facebook in Silverlight, RIA Services and Entity Framework Abstract: Let’s imagine for a minute Twitter and Facebook had a passionate love affair and produced a child (nillius filius) named Johnny. Although Johnny was born from web-based parents there was a genetic defect that caused Johnny to be born a Rich Internet Application (RIA). In this talk we are going to look at the lessons, trials, tribulations and successes Johnny had growing up being a Rich Internet Application. We'll take a look at the journey of building a REAL Silverlight application (Johnny) for the enterprise (not some simple demo) and talk about the pain, the joy and lessons learned. Hopefully we’ll answer the question: “Is Johnny happy with himself or does he wishes he was born from different parents so he wasn’t a RIA.” Bio and pic: http://keithelder.net/about/
