Silverlight, Azure go to the Mardi Gras

without comments

Fel­low Aus­tralian DPE-ers, Chris Bright, Michael Kordahi and Greg Wil­lis have been busy work­ing on a micro– mega– project.

For the last 30 years, Sydney’s Gay and Les­bian com­munity has paraded down Oxford Street. The Sydney Morn­ing Her­ald has a lib­rary of images from the parade: and has used the Deep Zoom fea­ture of Sil­ver­light to dis­play these images.

Michael Kordahi cre­ated the front-end (Sil­ver­light) and Greg Wil­lis archi­tec­ted the back-end (Azure)

Well done guys.

Now you can browse through their col­lec­tion online. This is just wow.
