Show #17: Josh Holmes, Microsoft UX Architect Evangelist

The Startup Success Podcast

Show #17 is all about Microsoft Silverlight for startups with Josh Holmes, Microsoft UX Architect Evangelist. We cover what Silverlight offers startups, get a glimpse of what’s coming soon, discuss where Silverlight fits in with ASP.NET and more.

Since Bob and Pat talk with Josh for a while, we’re skipping for this week the other usual show segments.

We should also mention that Josh is certifiably crazy (jumped in freezing Michigan lake in winter), but in a good way (fundraising for the Michigan Special Olympics) you might want to support.
