In this episode, Clark joins up with Mark Tinderholt of Avanade at the recent MIX conference to discuss putting Silverlight through it's paces in the Enterprise.

Mark let’s us in behind the scenes of a large project he is participating on in which the team is working to re-platform a large insurance system consisting of disparate systems, such as ASP.NET and Java, and how they’re pulling the system together using technologies such as Silverlight 3, WCF and Prism.
