Great Chat with Michael Scherotter from Microsoft!
I recently had the pleasure to speak with platform evangelist Michael Scherotter from Microsoft. This gentleman has the most infectious passion of anyone I know. Michael and I discussed everything from Silverlight development, the Best Buy Remix API, to where he sees the future trends of the web going. The interview is approximately 20 minutes of wisdom from one of the best in the industry.
Michael has also developed an application built using the Best Buy Remix API called Artist Explorer (http://xmldocs.net/artists/) that you should check out. Enjoy the interview and feel free to utilize the Silverlight resources found under the audio player!

The code for the New York Times Silverlight kit is on CodePlex at newyorktimessilverlight.codeplex.com
I haven’t released the code for the rest yet.

Yes I got it. This code is very complete, good wrappers around the API functions, solid parsers then mapp the XML into objects, and even a test suite.
For anyone learning silverlight, it’s worth downloading.
Sorry – I posted the wrong URL for the New York Times Silverlight Kit. Here’s the right one:

It is good to learn about API the work with silverlight. Many suppliers of data do not have the crossdomainpolicy files, this prevents silverlight from consuming data.
It is great to see someone mash together 4 different sources.
Is the source code on codeplex ?
