 Meeting Notes Minimize

About 15 people attended the meeting last night.
Chad was definitely an expert on the topic and had a great presentation prepared.  He showed some very cool stuff like manipulating Silverlight objects from managed code and from client-side code, responding to Silverlight events in managed code, and a very cool demo of the speed of Silverlight compared to Flex, DHTML, and a Java Applet.  The other 3 had frame rates around 60 fps, but the Silverlight version had frame rates around 300 fps!  

The PDF of Chad's presentation is in the resources section.

Toby and Jeff volunteered to present at the next meeting.  Current plan is to do an overview of Enterprise Library 3.1.

Next meeting date TBA.
