John ran into Silverlight MVP Ward Bell of IdeaBlade while at MIX10 (how could anyone miss him!). Ward was kind enough to sit and talk with John to show off the multi-touch application his company wrote for UFC using Silverlight. It uses multi-touch, Caliburn, MVVM, and, of course, Silverlight!

At the 2010 MVP Summit in Redmond, I met up with the always-fun Microsoft MVP Bruno Sonnino. Bruno has developed a ton of great utilities over the years, including many for PC Mag.
In this video, Bruno talks about DiskPie Pro 2, a utility originally written in Delphi and recently rewritten in .NET using WPF. Check out the neat use of transitions and the sharp use of 3D charts and presentation.
Visit Pete’s blog at 10rem.net for WPF, Silverlight, Windows Phone, and more.
Silverlight MVP Laurent Bugnion of IdentityMine appears on the show to discuss using MVVM with Silverlight. Laurent and John discuss their experiences with MVVM and how Laurent’s experiences inspired him to create his MVVM Light Toolkit. If you have been meaning to get into MVVM or you feel a bit overwhelmed by it all, definitely watch this episode and check out the MVVM Light Toolkit.

John interviews Silverlight MVP David Kelley about developing multi-touch applications in Silverlight. David discusses the types of multi-touch hardware and his experiences in developing real world multi-touch applications. Then he jumps right into the code and shows how to create a multi-touch application with Silverlight 3 or 4! The application David demonstrates walks through the key multi-touch events, handling those events, touch IDs, tracking the location of the touch points, and much more. Being a sly devil, John even got David to commit to coming on the show again and demonstrating some advanced multi-touch samples and sharing his stories of how developers have broken their monitors using multi-touch!
David also calls out props to Tim Heuer and Davide Zordan!
Episode 5 has killer content on Deep Zoom, Expression Web 3, a codeplex project on a Snippet Editor for Visual Studio, LINQ Tool Samples, LINQ Pad, Link To Twitter, Expression Blend 3 Importing Adobe assets, and an incredible codeplex project must see on a solid Silverlight website starter kit using best practices! This is Russ’s Tool Shed’s best effort yet! Grab a beer and hope you enjoy this most educational, enlightening and entertaining instant classic video!

Many thanks to the many volunteers, live studio audience and presenters. This was an all volunteer effort!
One note on the default player.. I tested this out at a very slow speed, and it may buffer a few times in the first minute of play during the theme song with lots of video action but settles right down for smooth play after that, just in case you experience this:
1) either ride it out, or
2) view the highdef wmv by clicking here to play in your media player, or
3) right mouse click on this link and choose save target as to download… or
4) using the pull down menu under the player, or
5) slip ahead a minute on the time line hovering over the bottom of the video.
Size=400meg. Hopes that helps because it is well worth it to view this in its entirety, with great content and 4 MVP speakers who are awesome!

Developer Challenges this episode solves…
How can you quickly display and navigate a large, detailed image or a panorama of images on the web, and not be extremely slow to view?
What can you use to build a website that supports ASP.NET, Deep Zoom Composer images, AJAX, and Silverlight videos? … and do it quickly?
Do you wish you could find that perfect piece of code that you know you’ve written before?
You know how to write a query in SQL but how do you do it in LINQ? What tools are there to help you understand LINQ and what it is doing behind the scenes?
You have the source art from your design group, but how do you convert that into WPF or Silverlight?
You need to create a website for your group, and you would like to have a solid codebase as a starting point and get your feet wet in a real world Silverlight application.
