The CESPage Tutorials are all the work of Peter Bull (@RoguePlanetoid). He was telling me last night that he’s got a few more almost ready to post up in the near future too.
Glad you like the tutorials, and thanks for the write-up, I do indeed have a few more tutorials on the way – I’m doing two a week at the moment so hope to have even more posted soon!
Cool! Looking forward to seeing them.
Silverlight is a powerful development platform for creating and engaging user experiences for Web. Thanks for sharing this tutorials.
I thought when Silver light first came out it would die off. I resisted installing it for at least a year. Seems like it’s not likely to die off
