MOSS 2007 and Silverlight Integration

March 1, 2008 04:00 PM - 05:15 PM Room: E

Andy Nogueira, Nonlinear creations Inc.

In this session we'll explore different scenarios for integrating SharePoint and Silverlight. SharePoint 2007 is an amazing framework that has an incredible set of built-in features such as Web Parts, Collaboration, Workflow, Security, LOB integration, Search, etc. In this session we'll demonstrate how to leverage some of these features to create a real Rich Internet Application (RIA) using SharePoint and Silverlight together.

With the new and improved features of SharePoint 2007, it is becoming a very powerful platform to build Web 2.0 portals both internally and externally.  Likewise, Silverlight is an exciting new technology for building rich interaction with users on the web.  Putting the two together makes a very interesting mashup of interaction that may bring a great user experience to the people using your application.  As a result, a session like this is definitely worth seeing.
