Silverlight 2 End-to-End Data Centric Application

Brad Abrams has put together a really nice post on Silverlight 2. He calls it, End-to-End Data Centric Application with Silverlight 2.

His goals, list at the beginning of his blog, are to show-

Explain the Silverlight Project Format
How to do rich layout and animation
Uses line of business controls for Silverlight such as DataGrid
Has a Linq based data layer on the server on the server
Exposes business logic over that data via a WCF web service
Consume the service on the client in Silverlight and databind to the DataGrid
Store result locally to minimize round trips to the server across instantiations with IsolatedStorage
Re-theme the UI to make it look more cool.
Do it all in code that you could easily write on stage in about 30-45 mins
Have Fun!
