Developing UX

I always like going up to the North Dallas DNUG. The first (pilot) CommunityCast.tv episode was shot there… and the last time that I was there Jason Alexander showed of Graffiti before Telligent had it released (CommunityCast episode 6).

Side Note: I just realized that Jason updates his blog less than I update  CommunityCast.   – go follow his twitter instead

Tonight I’ll be talking about Microsoft Silverlight, specifically some of the Data Binding and Visual Template features. This is a fun talk, but there is a lot to cover! We’ll start with data binding to business objects and then move to creating visual templates with Microsoft Expression Blend. I’ll also bring my camera so be prepared to chat about what you are doing later in the night!

If you’re in the Dallas area, be sure to stop by and check it out!

My friend and fellow TulsaTechFest presenter, Tim Rayburn, had a web cam on his laptop at the Halo 3 Launch @ Microsoft. I think that he was giving me a (well deserved) hard time about the number of videos that I’ve actually posted on CommunityCast.tv… eventually I will put some of the gazillion interviews that I’ve recorder. Really!

Hats off to the Microsoft team that put this on. There were plenty of people there, several pod-casters, bloggers and a whole bunch of other people.

One of my favorite parts of the night was from my friend and Biz Talk MVP Tim Rayburn. Tim set up a small cam on his laptop with a sign that he had people read. It said, “TimRayburn.net, it’s like CommunityCast.TV only we actually post videos!” Hilarious. What a great play on the theme for CommunityCast, (“It’s like channel 9 for the rest of us”) and a nice reminder that I actually need to start posting some of those gazillion interviews that I’ve already recorded.

BTW…

CommunityCast was there recording more interviews… hopefully those will get posted sooner rather than later!

The next Dallas Bar Camp is tomorrow and we’re hosting it! Stop by. Say hi… and mix it up with some of the most interesting technologist in the Dallas area!
