Great Silverlight 2 Demo: Healthcare Demonstrator

  • Article

Congratulations to Martin Grayson and team for building one of the smartest Silverlight 2 demonstrations I've seen to date. I saw parts of this demo a month ago when I was in the UK, and I'm delighted it's now released.

Whether or not you're involved in the healthcare sector, this demo does a great job of showing how Silverlight 2 can transform web-based application development. We're already starting to see many real-world applications using Silverlight 2, even in its beta 1 stage; I'll post a list of the best ones I've collected before the end of the week. With a beta 2 release not far away, momentum is continuing to grow. And keep an eye on this blog first thing Friday morning for a separate exciting announcement (he said elusively)...

    The demo shows patient charts using Deep Zoom, which implies that Deep Zoom content can be created programatically (rather than by hand in DZ Composer).  Is that actually the case?

    Great app!  IE uses 418,000KB RAM for this.  Hmmm.

    Check out my thoughts on how I think Silverlight 2.0 is part of a clever strategy to get a subscription-based Windows Live PC on Macs and other devices. http://colinizer.com/2008/05/12/add-a-windows-live-pc-for-mac-to-your-live-mesh-with-silverlight/ Does it make any sense? :)

    Hi Tim, the MSCUI demonstration was asking for Silverlight 2 Beta 1 version, not the latest Beta 2. I can't find the latest update on their website. Can you help me?

    Hi Eriawan, We should be updating the site by the end of tomorrow (Thursday) to be compatible with Beta 2. Thanks for your patience, Martin
