About Us

Silverlight is a new and exciting technology; this user group aims to help people understand and learn more about Silverlight by sharing experiences and educating all.

We're working closely with Microsoft to focus on the British designer and developer communities to help grow their knowledge and understanding of Silverlight and it's supporting tools and technologies whilst remaining completly independent (we don't do Marketing - just good honest advice and opinions from people with experience).

Specifically we're going to focus on: -

  • Silverlight Programming (both .NET and JavaScript)
  • Silverlight Design
  • Silverlight Animation and Effects
  • Silverlight Performance tips
  • Silverlight Hosting
  • Silverlight Testing
  • Silverlight for Flash designers and developers

An important part of Silverlight work is the Expression Suite of tools which aid both designers and developers to build rich internet applications using Silverlight. We will be running free user group meetings and workshops showing how to use Expression tools as well as the best way to utilise them.

So how can you get involved? Well, we're running events in locations around the country, with permenant homes in North West and South East. Come along to an event if it sparks your interest.

In addition to the real world events we also have a Silverlight e-mail list you can subscribe to, this will give you access to dozens of Silverlight experts at any time of day or night.

So please, get involved!

Thanks,

The Silverlighters team.
