Silverlight, WPF, Windows Phone 7 all from one codebase? Is it possible? Well, Colin Eberhardt gave us an hour worth of hints, tips and examples of how you can manage your XAML applications to fit these different software platforms. He’s an eager blogger, so his Colin Eberhardt’s blog has many more WPF and Silverlight tips. Please remember to post any feedback about the evening on twitter using our hashtag #SLUGUK, and thanks for all that came along on the night.

I normally give a shout out to the other user groups that are running events in the area, so here is an excerpt of those I put into my introductory slides at the start of the evening.

One of the best resources to look at or subscribe to is MSDN Flash.

With thanks to the cleanup crew that helped to put the EMC meeting rooms back in order –  Paul Stancer, Paul Lo, Mike Taulty (whom selflessly put chair-shifting duty before worrying about catching a train back to Manchester!), plus EMC Consulting for providing venue and beers.
