Daniel presented this talk at the Wellington Silverlight user group last Wednesday.

I enjoyed this talk. Daniel went back to basics and showed how to get up and running with Silverlight and WPF development, covered the various layouts you can use in XAML, and went through some of the fundamentals of how XAML and code interact.

I think the part I most appreciated was the content that Daniel left out of his talk. He was very well prepared, and had intentionally kept things simple, which is hard to do when you have deep technical knowledge and enjoy sharing it - I struggle with keeping my talks focussed without diverting on a tangent.

Well done Daniel, I'm looking forward to your next talk!
