Tonight the gang at the TRINUG Web Apps SIG (Special Interest Group) decided to take a break from their monthly MVC and JQuery fun to take a look at some of the new features of Silverlight 3. The screenshot above and link below is the completed code sample that I was walking through to show some Silverlight basics and look at a few of the new features.

The sample includes Perspective 3d capabilities, element to element bindings, and Pixel Shader Effects.

The Silverlight 3 Out Of Browser Slide application demo that we took a look at as well is available here on Mike Harsh’s Blog.
