Last night, I went to a Tech Night at Magenic where all of us got to see the basics of creating a Silverlight and WPF applications. After seeing how simple it is to create them, and the power of the technology as far as what you can do with, I'm starting to get really excited about using Silverlight in a live project. However, I need to focus on the goals I have at hand first. But in the meantime, it'll be good for me to keep paying attention to as much as possible in anticipation of being able to that in the future.
Here's something cool you can do with Silverlight - give an object the ability to be clicked and dragged.
