Member Quotes

Graham Coleman

Guy has an enthusiasm and expertise in this subject area that is a delight to see. Clear and well explained too.

David Anderson

I have never written a Silverlight application and have no current plans to do so, but this presentation was nevertheless did a useful job in highlighting some of the issues involved in adding language and culture options to any app (something I may consider doing for an existing ASP.NET app of mine). Guy was an excellent presenter.

Event Breakdown

Guy Smith-Ferrier	How To Achieve World(-Ready) Domination In Silverlight
So you’ve written your Silverlight application and you want it to work in another language ? Then this session is for you. World-Readiness is all of the work that a developer needs to do to globalize an application and make it localizable (i.e. capable of being localized). Whereas these concepts are well established in Windows Forms and ASP.NET, Silverlight is not only a cut-down version of the .NET Framework but also cross platform and client-side. In this session you will learn how to localize Silverlight applications using .resx files, download culture-specific resources on demand so that users only download resources for the culture they need, understand what System.Globalization types and properties Silverlight does not support and why, what CultureInfo and RegionInfo support you can expect on different operating systems, what the Silverlight installation user experience is for non-English users and what language support you can expect from the Silverlight framework.

Rob Cooper	A Great NugGIT
Having recently decided to take the plunge into Git - I thought I would share my thoughts and give a quick run down and "getting started" guide so you can have a play as well (hopefully with less pain!).
