As you may already know, we are merging Silverlight Contrib and Silverlight Extensions into one super-ultra-mega project.  Last month, we held a poll to let the community decide the name of the consolidated project. 

Jesse Liberty is happy to announce that his two new videos - Creating a Carousel Part 1 and Creating a Carousel Part 2 are now available. Some of the topics these videos cover are: The Silverlight Layout System, Matrix Transforms, Programmatic Animation and much more.

If you like Silverlight and you have:

• Personal or company blog;
• .NET, Silverlight or RIA community web site;
• User group site;
• Anything else related to Silverlight.

Then you can keep your visitors up-to-date with the latest Silverlight community news for free using the news component created by SilverlightShow especially for You!

It is very light and customizable Silverlight RSS component, based on SilverlightShow's news RSS feed updated daily with information from all valuable community sources i.e. Scott Guthrie, Tim Heuer, Jesse Liberty, Adam Kiney and many more.
