Vincent Vergonjeanne Introduction

'Programming from the age of 12 year old, spending my adolescence coding Video Games in the basement of a friend artist, I created my own company at the age of 19 year old, during the Internet Bubble. Not a strong commercial success but an extremely valuable experience. I then worked for the Video Game and the Internet industry. After 2 years, I decided to stop working and finish my studies to get my Bachelor/Master degree at EPITA (Famous French IT University).

Diploma in pocket, I travelled in Australia where I worked for the mobile phone and the automation industry. Finally today I'm working for Microsoft in Ireland on the competitive and challenging field of Web Analysis.

Specialties:

Advanced Visualizations, Video Game Development, GDI+, Silverlight, WPF, DirectX, .NET, C#, AJAX, DirectX, J2ME ...'

Silverlight

Silverlight is a cross-platform, cross-browser plugin for delivering rich media content over the internet. It's 1.0 version is programmed in XAML and Javascript, while its latest version, 1.1 can be developed using Microsofts C# programming language.

Basically put, its Microsofts version of FLEX, but if your used to VisualStudio and C# - its so much better!
