At Oosterkamp Thomas and I are huge Formula One fans. For years now I'm running a F1 game for some F1 addicted friends of me. This year I decided to change the rules of the game a little bit and create some functionallity on the web so users can make changes to their predictions using a site rather than send me some e-mail. You can see a beta preview of the game site at http://www.independentf1.nl (log in using test | test)

Some technologies I used for this site are: .NET Framework 3.5, SQL Server 2005, Linq-to-SQL, Silverlight enabled WCF and Silverlight 2. I used Microsoft Expression Blend for the Silverlight lay-out and animations. Creating simple animations based on timelines and adding media is super easy using Blend. Although I have to confess I'm absolutely no designer, so don't judge me for that.

Feel free to drop me mail if you like to start using Silverlight but don't know where to start or need some advise. If you like to join the game this year send a mail to info@independentf1.nl and I will send you the rules later on.
