The September meeting was enormous fun!

We had three speakers who each did a mini-session and then concluded our Operation Silverlight contest with voting and prizes.

Prize Winners

First place went to Jason Rainwater and his Falling Blocks game. He chose the 8GB Zune donated by Microsoft.

Second place went to Anupam Chakravarty and his Duck Hunt game. For his prize he chose the copy of Office 2007 Ultimate donated by Microsoft.

Third place went to Cliff Jacobson and his Cheese Man game. He picked a book from our collection that was also donated by Microsoft.

Speakers

Our first session was presented by group president Jeff Ammons. He spoke about using LINQ to Objects and serialization as an alternative to an embedded database in some applications. He is going to post a blog about the topic and we'll link it here when he is finished.

Next was Jason Rainwater with a deep dive into WPF and how to extend the grid view and list view.

Finally was Thanh Le with an Intro To Windows Mobile Development.
