On Wednesday, November 7th, I will be presenting about Silverlight to our user group in Des Moines.  Here's the info:

Abstract:

This is an overview presentation of the feature set that both Silverlight v1.0 and v1.1 have to offer to developers.
We will also cover some of the current tools available for both designers and developers to create Silverlight applications.

What is Silverlight?

Microsoft® Silverlight™ is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web.  Silverlight offers a flexible programming model that supports AJAX, VB, C#, Python, and Ruby, and integrates with existing Web applications.

Silverlight supports fast, cost-effective delivery of high-quality video to all major browsers running on the Mac OS or Windows.

The layout of the presentation is a "how-to" overview on the tools available to developers and designers. I also plan on doing a little "surprise" demo ... that I could hopefully fit into the presentation.

If you don't have anything going on Wednesday night, stop on by at the and say hi!
