We've all heard the old adage that "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." But we've also heard the wisdom of "Right tool, right job." Silverlight changes the dynamic of rich internet application development, where before there was one option or a limited handful of options Microsoft's emergent technologies in the space are creating new options for dealing with .NET infrastructure in RIA development and new options for RIA developers to grow their business and revenue streams with additional technologies, tools and services. Join Chris Bernard from Microsoft as he gives an overview of how these technologies and service models can be of interest to the FLEX developer.

Better yet, join Chris for a preview of what you'll be able to see in Chicago on November 20th at the Chicago PhizzPop Design Challenge (www.phizzpop.com) where you'll be able to see local RIA firms solve a grand challenge around using Microsoft's RIA and UX technologies to help generate awareness and viability around Chicago's 2016 Olympics bid.
