Silverlight Around the World / Showcase

This is about a year old, but I’ve been referring to it recently, as the current Silverlight project is also a big world map. The Silverlight Around the World app is used to visualize data from the Silverlight Showcase (which I also built). I can’t prove it, but I think these are some of the most complex apps that were made in the Silverlight 1.0 timeframe. Keep in mind that this is JavaScript, not C#, and Canvas, no Grids. Both use the ASP.NET AJAX component model, and a Cairngorm-style architecture to bring a little sanity and reusability to the code.

The next map/datavis project is all SL 2, Deep Zoom, and other madness, and will launch on microsoft.com… when it’s ready.
