Moving on to Silverlight...

As much fun as it has been to code almost exlusively in ASP.NET with jQuery, I'm moving on to Silverlight 4.  I've actually be working almost exclusively in Silverlight for the past 2 - 3 months, and I love it!  We are using the MVVM design pattern with Prism.  MVVM and Prism (or another IOC) with Silverlight/WPF are an absolute must for complex business apps.  I don't think I have ever absorbed new technology like I have with Silverlight.  Delicious. Anyways, my next several posts will be focusing on Silverlight, with many MVVM-focused posts, and some other stuff as they come (learning and mastering SQL is a lifelong process apparently...) like: Stackpanel with Image size gotcha Mouse event commanding in Silverlight Creating custom attached properties and binding them to your viewmodel Popup and childwindows in Silverlight w/ MVVM - my own take on this subject A good case for temp tables over table variables in MSSQL Lots of fun stuff here, and more to come!
