Thanks to everyone who attended my sessions at the Tech Valley Code Camp on Saturday 11/7! As promised, here are links to further resources for the sessions:

.NET RIA Services

• .NET RIA Services... and Beer! - If you missed my session, no worries, here is a text walk-through plus demo code.
  
• RIA Services Community Site - *NEW* Site aggregating all of the resources for .NET RIA Services!
  
• Brad Abrams Intro to RIA Services - Brad starts this series out saying that someone should write a book about RIA Services, then proceeds to do just that in this 26 part series.

Behaviors in Silverlight 3

• Creating Behaviors in Silverlight 3 - This is a screencast of the "developer half" of the session.
  
• Physics Behaviors - Here you can download the Physics Helper Behaviors and create vehicles, rag dolls, and other evil creations.
  
• Expression Team Behaviors - Here is where you can get the cool MouseGestureTrigger, as well as some other experimental behaviors created by the Blend team.
  
• Peter Blois' Explode Behavior - Slip this one into your next Business Application, and trigger when an unhandled exception occurs :)
  
• Writing a Design Time Experience - Unni provides a project template for Blend which gets you past the burn and into the groove with writing Behaviors with full Blend support.
