Yesterday, I gave a talk for DotNed.nl, the Dutch usergroup at the Ordina offices in Nieuwegein. 55 people attended the sold-out talk, I hope you enjoyed it. Any feedback is of course welcome via mail.

The talk, Building an end-to-end Silverlight application consisted out of 10 topics that we often encounter when building LOB applications:

• 1.SketchFlow
• 2.WCF RIA Services
• 3.Data binding & DataGrid
• 4.MVVM
• 5.MEF
• 6.Commanding & behaviors
• 7.Messaging, navigation & dialogs
• 8.Custom controls & third party controls
• 9.OOB
• 10.Printing

The ZIP file below contains the PPTX and the demos (also of the 2 topics we didn’t cover).
