My name is Chris Anderson and I am a software developer based in Sydney, Australia. I have a company called Peer Placements (along with Mark Wallis and Ali Shafai) specialising in Software Developer recruitment (we are all active software developers ourselves) and consulting. I have been a developer for over 10 years (professionally), and have worked on a lot of projects in WinForms, ASP.NET (+ AJAX), and the .NET Compact Framework (amongst other technologies). These days I’m spending a lot of time working with Silverlight and the huge potential it has for business application development. I’ve recently completed writing two books – Professional Visual Studio 2010 for Wrox (as a co-author), and Pro Business Applications with Silverlight 4 (for Apress). You can view and buy these from Amazon using the links in the sidebar. I am available for consulting work in Silverlight, WPF, ASP.NET, and the .NET Compact Framework – if you are interested please contact me here.


Chris,
I’m presenting a session on building LOB apps with Silverlight 2. I’d like to reuse a bunch of stuff from your Silverlight 2 LOB series including building something like your app as part of my demos (including some potential tweaks). I’m still in the process of figuring out how much I can fit into my 45 minutes. Would you mind if I use your approaches and codebase as a starter to my content? I will give full attribution to you and your techniques and will make sure people know where to go to find your postings to learn more. Please let me know. Thanks.
