Silverlight Control Builder Contest ‘08
The Silverlight Control Builder Contest ‘08 has started! Build a compelling Silverlight 2 control and win some cool stuff! This is a great contest to see what you developers in the community can kick out in Silverlight 2.
Even if you can’t enter the contest, head on over to the contest FAQ and download a badge you can use to help promote the contest and Silverlight 2 control development.
I’m looking forward to seeing a lot of excellent entries. Time is limited, so step away from the lawnmower, get those creative juices flowing and submit something we’ll all want to use.
