Tech Friday!

I hereby declare that Friday mornings will now be committed to leveling up my technical knowledge. For this morning, I watched a session on http://www.visitmix.com which talked about Building Microsoft Silverlight Controls in Silverlight 3. Check out Karen Corby’s session at http://videos.visitmix.com/MIX09/T16F

Some really cool features of Silverlight 3 she talks about are Theming, Validation States, and a few others. She also does a very comprehensive walkthrough on creating a custom rating control.

You can also find the code and presentation from this session on her blog at http://scorbs.com/2009/03/23/mix-09-building-microsoft-silverlight-controls/

And for more details on how the Validation works, check out this Channel9 Video:  http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/mtaulty/Silverlight-3-Beta-Validation/

Next time, I’ll start my Fridays earlier so I can actually build something.
