Silverlight Application selected by Microsoft for Silverlight Webcast Training

Ramp Group today announced that an application it built to demonstrate its Microsoft Silverlight expertise had been selected by a Microsoft Silverlight evangelist to demonstrate how powerful Silverlight is for enabling broadcast-style video and animated advertisements with online video content.  Vijay Yalamanchili – Managing Director for Ramp’s Hyderabad office explains: “As our Silverlight team has been expanding its expertise, I challenged them to develop some sample applications that we could demonstrate to clients and Shubhashish Pandey, to his credit, exceeded my expectations with this sample application.  We are thrilled that Microsoft India has selected our application as  an example of how solid development skills can produce a compelling user experience.  The online photo and video album (  http://1dc.net/album )   was developed by Ramp to demonstrate some of the more impressive features that clients ask about but may not expect to find in a Silverlight solution.”
