Silverlight bookshelf from SilverlightShow
SilverlightShow.net is one of those great community sites providing information, tutorials and general developer information around Silverlight. They’ve done a great job providing a spectrum of beginner to advanced topics on Silverlight development.
At MIX10 I was talking with one of the brains behind the site (and Silverlight MVP), Emil Stoychev, one one of the ways they had been displaying book recommendations on their site. It was a bookshelf view that I thought was cool and I wanted to use it for my own book recommendation list on my blog.
NOTE: It was funny in talking with Emil because they had this bookshelf control for a while and then the iBooks app for iPhone/iPad came out and looked really familiar. Of course, the user experience isn’t something entirely new for displaying this type of information, but it was cool to see consistency.
I asked Emil if I could use the control and showcase some of the work they do on that site. They carved off a little area where I could manage my books and here it is: – hyperstudio – addthis – fdatransparencyblog - careernote -
