Silverlight 2.0 Video Tutorials

Silverlight 2.0 provides a new and exciting framework for building rich applications using C#, VB.NET or other languages that are capable of running on multiple operating systems and in multiple browsers.  Scott Guthrie recently posted a great set of tutorials on Silverlight 2.0 that are an excellent resource for getting started building Silverlight 2.0 applications. 

Scott recently approved converting the tutorials into video so I've been busy the past few days putting together video tutorials that cover Silverlight 2.0 and the Digg.com application Scott wrote about.  Links to the written tutorials and video tutorials are shown below.

New Video: Integrating Silverlight and ASP.NET AJAX

I gave a talk at Desert Code Camp toward the end of 2007 that discussed how Microsoft's Silverlight product could be integrated with ASP.NET AJAX to dynamically display albums obtained from an Amazon.com Web Service.  It's taken awhile to get the video posted, but it's now available.  The audio in the room wasn't great since no microphone was used so you may need to crank it up a bit. 

Slides and code shown in the video can be downloaded below:

    • Video: Creating an N-Layer ASP.NET Application

    In this video tutorial I walk through the fundamentals of creating an N-Layer ASP.NET application. What's "N-Layer" you ask? N-Layer can be interpreted many different ways, but I generally use the term to mean separating presentation, business and data code into individual layers. Doing this allows code to be re-used throughout an application and prevents unnecessary clutter in ASP.NET code-behind classes. This video covers creating presentation, business and data layers and also covers another layer I normally add to projects that I refer to as "Model". The model layer contains data entity classes that are used to pass data between the different layers.

    If you're currently embedding all of your code directly in ASP.NET pages, this video will help get you started on the road to recovery. I'm kidding of course, but if you want to build more re-useable and maintainable applications you'll want to segregate your code into different layers at a minimum. Other types of architectures can certainly be applied as well. The code shown in the video can be downloaded here.

    Video: Creating a Web Service with Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)

    My good buddy Lorin Thwaits invited me to give a WCF talk at the Vista launch event on Feb. 3rd for the Arizona .NET User Group. Thanks to everyone who attended...I had a lot of fun and met some great people. For those that didn't attend, the video below shows the code demo I ran through in the presentation. Here's a summation of what it's all about:

    Windows Communication Foundation (WCF - part of .NET 3.0) provides a robust framework that allows Web Services and .NET Remoting applications to be built and consumed using a consistent object model. In this video tutorial I walk through the fundamentals of creating a WCF service exposed through HTTP and IIS. Topics covered include defining a data contract using XSD schemas, generating data entity code using svcutil.exe, creating a service interface, implementing a service interface and consuming a service through a client-side proxy. The code shown in the video can be downloaded here.

    Video: Creating Custom Events and Delegates with C#

    It's no secret that events and delegates play a crucial role in the .NET framework. Without them it would be hard to handle user input or notify other objects when an action occurs. I get a lot of questions about events and delegates in classes I teach so I decided to put together a video that outlines the fundamentals of creating a custom class that exposes an event and a delegate. The video also demonstrates how to create a custom EventArgs class and how events can be consumed using C#. The code shown in the video can be downloaded here.
