Although TechEd is officially over, that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t keep on giving. Here are some links from the conference concerning Silverlight.

I will also be putting these on my WPF/Silverlight resources article as well.

Silverlight Airlines
One of the demos that Scott Guthrie built was that of a fictional airline (called Silverlight Airlines naturally…). It is a great demo that shows you how Silverlight works and how it is different than Flash. There are a lot of links about this demo, and they are all worth taking a look at.

You can:

• View it
• Watch a video about it
• Read about it
• Download it

You should note that before you get running, you will need the Silverlight 1.1 Alpha.

Image Viewer
One of the cool things I learned at the conference was that a lot of the demos for the Surface stuff was written in WPF (as you might have guessed). For instance, the photo viewer where you see people grabbing and stretching the images on the Surface table is all WPF. Well, the Silverlight guys thought they could make their own version. Its not quite as sexy as the Surface version, but its still pretty cool nonetheless.

You can take a look at it here, or if you want to get your hands dirty, you can get the code.

Video Player
As I mentioned before the early releases of Silverlight focus on video. It can show streaming video at up to 720p. If you wanna see what that really looks like, you can see it in all its glory at the Fox demo. Not sure if the movies they show are gonna be any good, but the tech sure is nice.

XPS Viewer
To show off the vector text capabilities, Microsoft has a demo that displays their new XPS document format in a slick little demo. As before, you can view it, or grab the code.

So there ya have it. I hope to get some more links about WPF stuff from the conference soon, as well as some more details about the new technologies later this week.
