Not sure if there's a point to everyone introducing themselves. because personally I've already forgetten all but the last 2 posters.
Anyway for the sake of completing the circle. Web dev ASP.NET doing Business Intelligence and Performance Management for Zap Technology in Brisbane. Kicking off next version in .Net 3.5, VS2008, and hopefully TFS2008 (if Chuck responds to my email).

I'm currently developing a SL game based on Adam's 2D physics engine (he's posted about it before). I also like long walks on the beach, trips to the zoo, and holding hands. _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen Price Sent: Saturday, 22 September 2007 11:31 AM To: listserver@ozsilverlight.com Subject: Re: [OzSilverlight] yo Non-Microsofty here, but I have done a bunch of cartoons of Microsofties (with some more planned when I get some free time). I'm a User Interface Developer using WPF at the moment (and loving it!!) so I have an interest in Silverlight. So which Microsoftie should I draw next? I've just been to the Big King Street draw (yesterday) so i'm all fired up about cartooning. :) Oh, while I'm thinking of it, has anyone tried to write a Facebook App using Silverlight? I heard some web dev guys talking about being able to do stuff in iframes so that made me start wondering... cheers, Stephen On 9/22/07, Nick Randolph <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hmmmm, not sure about the shy part, I was just waiting my turn - thought I would wait until the Microsofties were out of the way. I'm specifically not a web developer (waiting for all the hate-mail now....) as I have always had misgivings about the traditional request-response model. That said I did, in a past life - almost 10 years ago now, suffer the torture of javascript development to build interactive websites. What interest me about Silverlight is that we will have the ability to run managed code client side across a range of browsers and platforms. To me tis is much more powerful than ust another web technology. The implications going forward are that we can store local data, in isolated storage, and we can execute locally which means that we can start to build rich applications, deployed via the web independently of the target platform, that are able to work on and offline - Long live occasionally connected applications!

But for what it is worth -- over the past 20 years I have developed E-learning (human performance improvement) applications -- focus on simulations for learning complex tasks. I am interested in Silverlight as a platform for implementing some ideas I have been thinking about. have fun...

I like Scott am mostly focused on Silverlight and community, particularly enjoying advocating the JavaScript and XAML combination. My blog is http://adamkinney.com <http://adamkinney.com/> < http://adamkinney.com/ <http://adamkinney.com/> > but I also tend to be active on the Facebook Silverlight group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2312453637 , or at least trying to be. Facebook groups are slow I believe due to the lack of notifications. Anyways, I follow along with the list to watch for current issues and I'm happy to offer tech support if needed, but there seems to be plenty of helping hands here which is great. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] On Behalf Of Scott Barnes Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2007 2:31 AM To: listserver@ozSilverlight.com Subject: RE: [OzSilverlight] yo Sam welcome to the fold :P and the list is going for gold ;P I was wondering if other fellow Microsoftians could do a sound off (name, rank and brief background) so that others may get similiar perspective to what Sam just outlined. (FYI: Sam forgot to mention he was also one of the demi-god Flash gurus back in the day, and from memory wrote the first book on Flash OOP with Branden Hall "OOP for ActionScript" ). In case those of you whom haven't met me or know whom I am: --- Scott Barnes, RIA (Rich Interactive/Internet Application(s)) Evangelist for Microsoft Australia. I'm focused mostly around Community and Silverlight. In a previous life to Microsoft, I was an Adobe Flex / Flash Developer. I own two blogs, which I'm slowly merging into one, but they are: http://www.visitmix.com/blogs/mossyblog (Purely about RIA and RIA only). http://blogs.msdn.com/msmossyblog (General Rants, may find an Adobe blogfight or two *sorry*). I'm working on a couple of projects at the moment: http://www.BeyondTheBrowser.NET <http://www.beyondthebrowser.net/> <http://www.beyondthebrowser.net/ > and http://www.SilverlightCoders.com <http://www.silverlightcoders.com/> <http://www.silverlightcoders.com/> ) more on this at a later date. If you have events, User Groups etc you want me to come to (Australia), don't hesitate to drop me an email or contact me via http://twitter.com/mossyblog Thanks.
