Catching up with Herding Code
While we were at PDC, Jon, Keven, Laurent, and I kept trying to get together and chat about Silverlight 2. Jon finally caught up with Laurent and recorded their conversation. Laurents book, Silverlight 2 Unleashed, was released at PDC and quickly sold out of the Microsoft store at the conference. I’ve heard nothing but excellent reviews for it since then.
