Our original speaker Jessie Liberty
slipped on some ice earlier this week and will be undergoing emergency surgery
to repair a dislocated and broken shoulder. Our thoughts and prayers go
out to him and we wish him a very speedy recovery. Unfortunately he will
not be able to fly down to speak at our event, but the show must go on and
Day of Silverlight will proceeded as planned. Filling in for Jessie will
be Joe Healy and Bill Reiss. If you have any questions feel free to drop
me an email at shawn@onetug.net
See you Saturday!

Bill Reiss is active in the XNA and Silverlight communities through his tutorials, public speaking events, and on the forums. Bill focuses mainly on game development, but also presents on general Silverlight topics. Bill began programming in seventh grade and became an indie game developer in high school selling casual games. After experiences in various languages and types of programming, Bill settled on C programming in college, and was the author of a very popular MUD client called TinTin++ which actually has shipped with the FreeBSD distribution and is still in use today. Today, Bill uses C++, C#, ASP.NET, and Silverlight in his day job for an online sports training company, and writes XNA and Silverlight game libraries and tutorials as a hobby by night. Bill is active in the Florida .Net Users Group in Tampa and throughout Florida http://www.fladotnet.com. On a personal note you have got to check out his Farseer Physics Engine completely written in Silverlight at http://www.bluerosegames.com/farseersilverlightdemos/, I had hours of fun knocking over little boxes! Bill will be talking about the alpha release of Silverlight 1.1. He will give us an overview of Expression Blend with a talk titled "Stupid Blend Tricks for Developers" |
