Atlanta Silverlight Fire Starter event yesterday was awesome!  There were over 100 people attending.  The vast majority stayed there for the entire length of the event that lasted from 8am until 6pm.  All presenters did a great job.  All attendees were great.  They actively participated in all discussions, asking many questions.  Many thanks to all the event sponsors who helped make Fire Starter possible,  The event was truly a communal effort pulled off by many people excited about the technology and willing to share their knowledge and experience.  Please see Silver light Atlanta site for more details about the event and its sponsors.

I posted my presentation about Deploying Silverlight Applications that I presented at the Fire Starter on the SkyDrive below.  Here is direct link: http://cid-2383900f69b808e0.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Atlanta%20Silverlight%20FireStarter%202009.  The zip file contains sample project, database backup and PowerPoint presentation.

I was also going to chat for a couple of minutes about reporting in Silverlight and localization in Silverlight, however we of ran out of time by the end of the day.  I pushed an example in localization into the zip file above.  Just look at how title is setup on the main screen.  If you are interested in reporting in Silverlight, just find the blog entries on this topic on this blog.  There is also a sample project on SkyDrive below on that showcases reporting in Silverlight.

I’d like to thank again to all involved in Fire Starter event, presenters, attendees and sponsors alike.

Since I am not sure if the sample project is available, I decided to post the zip file with the sample project on SkyDrive on this blog.  Here is the link to it (or you can just scroll down):http://cid-2383900f69b808e0.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Reporting%20in%20Silverlight%20Webinar

Please let me know if you have any questions.

I could not have been more pumped about my Silverlight database project (See my post from a week ago for details).  I searched CodePlex for “Silverlight”, and now my project is number 20 on the list sorted by relevance out of total  622 projects.  It is also listed on Silverlight MSDN main page today: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/silverlight/default.aspx.  It got 68 downloads and 311 visits in just four days this week.  Awesome!

I just posted another update to this project on CodePlex.  Silverlight Database now supports encryption and compression.
