We were able to organize this event on February 8th with the help and support of Microsoft Singapore. Apurva Lawale from Microsoft came over and conducted the two-hour long workshop for around twenty five students in the programming lab, COM1/B12 at the School of Computing.

Silverlight is a browser plugin that provides a developer with the tools to create powerful web applications easily. It is comparable, in principle, to Adobe's Flash and is simpler to use.

The workshop was focussed on helping students integrate Silverlight with their .NET applications, and was found helpful mainly by participants who have also taken the software engineering courses, CS3215 and CS2103 this semester.

The student chapter will be bringing similar developer events to NUS in the future, in partnership with Microsoft, to help students who are considering participating in the Imagine Cup in the best way possible.
