Hello Everyone;

In the Silverlight World Microsoft is the center of everything, one would think that the user groups in and around Microsoft would be the biggest and most Awesomest in the world. We need your help in figuring out where to go from here. We as a community need YOU! :) if you can make it please come and help give input and ideas and if possible some time to help us get more organized :) and get people excited.

I know alot of your have done a great job doing presentations and in inspiring us and for those I hope only for ideas but the rest of you, we need your help :) We have 2 great Silverlight related user groups in the area, one that meets in Seattle and one that meets on campus, we need help from finishing web design to banner printing etc and speaker organization.

Please fill free to pass this on, the more the better. We'll be meeting in the Hyatt atrium in downtown Bellevue here:

Bellevue Place
10500 NE 8th St.
Bellevue, WA 98004

Monday, June 14, 2010 12:00 PM-1:30 PM

we'll eat at the Thai place right there and have a great lunch

If we all contribute a little bit, then no one has to contribute alot and we will be the most Awesomest Community around.

Alas I find my self doing another book review... its not clear to me that I should continue to do that but on this particular book it heads in the right direction. As noted in an earlier post I find the idea of a cook book to be of particular interest and useful in my work with Silverlight. This book has gotten closer then any other to date in building the ideal Silverlight book. Albeit the book does make an attempt to teach Silverlight to some degree but it tends to be more of a reference book, the down side is that there is more in the book about teaching and less about more esoteric topics not connected to data. Certainly though for the professional Silverlight developer this is a great addition to your library.
