John sits down with Scott Guthrie, Corporate VP at Microsoft, to discuss the state of Silverlight. Scott discusses the impact of Silverlight in applications including Windows Phone 7, the history of releases, and what his favorite features are with Silverlight and Windows Phone 7. Scott talks about how Windows Phone and Silverlight together focus on optimizations such as using the GPU and using the off thread capabilities and he gives some advice for building applications with Silverlight and Windows Phone. You can catch more of Scott at PDC on Oct 28/29 and also at the keynote of the Silverlight Firestarter on Dec 2.
Also, let's all congratulate Scott and his family on the new addition to his family!
