On Saturday, November 7, 2009 at 9:00am I presented at the Desert Code Camp in Phoenix, AZ. The topic of my presentation was Silverlight casual game development. In less than an hour I demonstrated how to use triggers, actions, and behaviors in Blend 3 to create a hidden object game. Because all code was contained in the TABs (Triggers, Actions, and Behaviors) there was no code behind for the main UserControl.

Here is a link to the presentation video in WMV format.

   Missing references, where can I get them?

   The type or namespace name ‘Expression’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
