The Portland Silverlight User Group has launched with the unveiling of their website www.portlandsilverlight.net. The group is a special interest group of the Portland Area .NET User Group (PADNUG) and shares the PADNUG mailing list — a good choice IMHO.

The meetings will be on the second Tuesday each month, starting on Tuesday, 8 December 2009. Keep an eye on the website for details.

Erik Mork (consultant, trainer, and Microsoft MVP on Silverlight) and Kelly White (web technologist and self-styled part-time Silverlight zealot) are the masterminds behind this user group.

There’s never been a better time for Portlanders to get started or be excited about Silverlight, so mark your calendar now and plan to attend the kickoff meeting.
