Last Thursday I presented my "Introduction to Silverlight 2" talk to the Memphis .NET User Group. This was the second time I have been fortunate enough to have a captive audience to present this talk to. I was able to "pilot" the talk to the FedEx user group a couple of months ago - while Silverlight was still in beta. We had a good crowd on Thursday and LOTS of great questions.

I've zipped up the sample code and the slide deck at the bottom of this post. The sample code does assume that you are running a local Adventure Works database. I prefer the "LT" version as the download is much smaller than the others.

Here are some of the links I referenced in the presentation:

Silverlight resources:

• Silverlight Homepage
• Silverlight: Getting Started
• Scott Guthrie's Blog

Some of my favorite examples:

• Patient Journey Demonstrator
• Hard Rock Café Memorabilia
• Windows Vista Emulator
• Physics Powered Games
