WPF / Silverlight Animation (East Bay.NET) February 13, 2008

One of the most impressive features of WPF is its support for animations. This presentation will go through a series of step by step demonstrations which illustrate what properties to set and what methods must be used to control an animation. It will also explain to what extent Visual Studio can be used to create animations and where Expression Blend is required.
It will also show how animations can be used in Silverlight to created dynamic web applications. Finally, it will outline the limitations which apply to Silverlight applications in comparison to the broader WPF animation technology.
