My Silverlight presentation at the PHP Quebec User Group
Yesterday I did a Silverlight presentation at the PHP Quebec User Group in Montreal.
I did a small intro to Silverlight with powerpoint, then instead of listing the features in slides, I showed lots of cool demos online, here are the links I used:

At the end of the presentation I did a code demo where I built a Silverlight app in a PHP website, that displays a nice Cover Flow control (from Telerik) filled with Flickr images called from a PHP file.
