c# - Building a photography portfolio site in Silverlight - your input wanted! -

-

i'm .net newbie , want learn more programming silverlight webapp. in spare time photography big passion of mine, thought why not try build myself portfolio website in silverlight nice project focus on , learn from.

i've started digging world of silverlight , i'm blown away fact there many frameworks etc can use, caliburn (micro), ria services, wcf data services, etc etc.

perhaps can me out choose what's best use (and not). i've made basic list of stuff want have on site:

  • navigator-style interface (some text and/or images click on swap pages)
  • a portfolio page photos grouped in albums
  • a blog comments section (should build myself?)
  • a few textbased pages including graphics, "about me", "gear", etc (nothing special)
  • a guestbook people can drop line (or soooo 1999?)
  • a contact-me page (mailform style)

basically, need know need able build site have in mind. should using stuff caliburn micro, ef, etc? hope guys can me on way.

thanks offered. ted

i know project learn in wouldn't make whole website silverlight application. instantly alienating users don't have silverlight (a big enough section of users). instead create html/css (could use server side technology such asp.net) website contains silverlight parts fancy functionality difficult implement using other web technologies.

in terms of blog worth writing own when there many available use free.

haha guestbook seem 1999 don't let discourage if think adds value site.

as there many frameworks available use , largely comes down personal preference. have used mvvm light windows phone 7 silverlight applications , found pretty useful not every situation.
