Silverlight Control Builder Contest: More Prizes Added!

Since the initial announcement of the Silverlight Control Builder Contest, we've received a lot of attention and support from various vendors!  I am happy to announce that we have added prizes from vendors like Telerik, Xceed, and the SilverlightShow to the contest prize purse.  If you look on the prizes page, you can see that we are really giving away a lot of stuff!  A special Thanks goes out to all the vendors for helping to make the contest even more exciting!  We have plans to add even more prizes in the coming days, so stay tuned for an announcement on that as well!  Only 35 days remain until the ending of the contest so good luck!

Speaking at Columbia Developers Enterprise Guild

I will be speaking about building Templatable Silverlight Controls at the Columbia Developers Enterprise Guild on Wednesday, July 9th, 2008.

Presentation Details
Creating reusable controls is an important aspect of productive software development. When you can supplement this reusability with customizability, you have the power to rapidly deliver seamless and compelling user experiences in your products. Silverlight offers both of these through the use of custom templatable controls. In this presentation, we will take a short journey through the process of building a custom control using Silverlight.

See you there!
