MIX09: Principles of Microsoft Silverlight Animation

Come and learn the fundamentals of Silverlight animation. Start at the beginning with a review of storyboards and keyframes, and then break free from storyboards and explore procedural animations. This is where the rubber meets the road and your objects come to life-vectors, frame-based animations, collisions, particle systems, and VR objects.
