Olympics online coverage to be powered by Silverlight
This one is big for my team. My colleagues and I on the Silverlight product development team are enthused about NBC Universal's choice of our platform to power the user experience on their site for the upcoming Beijing 2008 Olympics. I think providing a compelling experience around the thousands of hours of live feeds and on-demand content is just the kind of challenge that Silverlight was built for.
Here's to Silverlight 2.0, of which you'll hear more in the days and months to come.

Hey Ashish, can you tell us if you guys are going to provide us with some type "User Id, password" authentication and authorization similar to what ASP.net provides? This way, we don't have write this lengthy process over again?

I am looking for a WPF guru and I'm hoping that you can help! I found you while doing a google search.
What we’re looking for is a solid WPF developer to help develop graphic intensive UIs for a travel booking site and also for a digital download service. I could bore you with intangible, touchy-feely descriptors like “Must have outstanding attention to detail” but instead I’ll just give you the shortlist of absolute, no compromise, MUST have skills:
1) WPF expert. Not “familiar with” or self-taught, but an actual expert. This will immediately thin the herd of candidates in a major way!
2) Experience with front-end development of graphics intensive UIs.
Beyond that everything else is icing on the cake. Very, very few people outside of Microsoft have listed WPF on their resume. Instead we are looking for Expression, Blend, and Silverlight and looking for people who might have worked at MS on those teams or contracted at MS. If they worked as a developer (not a designer) and have experience with Expression/Blend/Silverlight then they probably know WPF.
$90-$100/hr pay rate.
This is a really tough job to fill. We do need the person to be on-site and the project will run through April, possibly longer.
We also pay referral bonuses and give out gift certificates to restaurants in downtown Seattle to those that refer the individual that is placed!
I would really appreiciate any referrals or suggestions on where to look for candidates.
I will be in the office tomorrow morning and can be reached @ 206-340-0247 or via email @ pbeasock@24seveninc.com.
Please feel free to forward this on to anyone that may be interested. The position is onsite 40+ hours a week.
Thank you so much and have a wonderful day!
Patricia
