Unfortunately I did not get to hit all of the session I would have liked to, but nonetheless I had some of the most inspiring conversations around Silverlight.   Its hard to explain the vibe any other way than excited. This years sessions will certainly inspire a whole bunch of designers and developer to run out and start building truly innovative solutions in Silverlight. I just can’t wait to see what they produce!

For those of you who did not get a chance to see the session I presented on behalf of Terralever, please check it out. It’s titled “Creating a Great Experience on Digg with Windows Internet Explorer 8” and you can watch the whole thing online. I think I cover a whole bunch of cool stuff and I demo a slick little Silverlight 3.0 webslice. (P.S Look closely at the video player…it looks a lot like the one I posted on CodePlex…..go open source!)

This year I will speak about our experience using Internet Explorer 8 and how we leveraged some of the new and exciting features like the Accelerator and Web slice to build a great solution for Digg. Here is the abstract for the session.

Abstract

Come hear how Terralever was able to use the powerful new features of Internet Explorer 8 to change how users interact with the Digg Web site. Learn how using Accelerators and Web Slices changed the way users are able to discover, as well as simplify submitting stories. We look at how taking advantage of these exciting features can improve a users experience, while increasing the number of users visiting your site.

I am very excited to represent Terralever in this opportunity. If your attending Mix, make sure to attend our break out session .

Thursday March 19 |2:30 PM-3:45 PM | San Polo 3501
