The Silverlightning Talks
- by Brian Genisio's House Of Bilz
Tomorrow, I will be speaking in Grand Rapids at the Silverlight Firestarter.  It is a one day event intended to get people bootstrapped with Silverlight.  I will be giving the “Advanced Topics” presentation.  I have decided to run it as a series of “Lightning Talks”.  The idea is to give a lot of breadth so you know that the topic exists and move quickly between them.  To go along with the talks, here are a bunch of links that you might find useful:  MVVM  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd458800.aspx     http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd419663.aspx     http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/Continuum/MVVM/     http://karlshifflett.wordpress.com/2008/11/08/learning-wpf-m-v-vm/     http://johnpapa.net/silverlight/5-minute-overview-of-mvvm-in-silverlight/     Good MVVM Frameworks     http://www.galasoft.ch/mvvm/getstarted/     http://caliburn.codeplex.com/Wikipage     Prism  http://compositewpf.codeplex.com/     http://mtaulty.com/CommunityServer/blogs/mike_taultys_blog/archive/2009/10/27/prism-and-silverlight-screencasts-on-channel-9.aspx     http://www.grumpydev.com/2009/07/04/why-shouldn%E2%80%99t-i-use-prism/     Unit Testing  Silverlight Unit Testing Framework    http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/silverlightut     http://silverlight.codeplex.com/     http://www.jeff.wilcox.name/2008/03/silverlight2-unit-testing/     NUnit Testing with Silverlight     http://weblogs.asp.net/nunitaddin/archive/2008/05/01/silverlight-nunit-projects.aspx       Useful Testing Tools    http://testdriven.net/     http://nunit.org/     http://code.google.com/p/moq/     http://www.ayende.com/projects/rhino-mocks.aspx     Navigation Framework  http://www.silverlightshow.net/items/The-Silverlight-3-Navigation-Framework.aspx     http://www.silverlight.net/learn/videos/silverlight-videos/navigation-framework/     Farseer Physics Engine  http://farseerphysics.codeplex.com/Wikipage     http://physicshelper.codeplex.com/Wikipage http://www.andybeaulieu.com/Home/tabid/67/Default.aspx     Windows Phone 7  http://www.silverlight.net/getstarted/devices/windows-phone/     http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff402535%28VS.92%29.aspx
