Silverlight Visualization Application: NFL Free Agency Movement

     

My colleague at AIS, Tad VanFleet, just created a cool Silverlight 2 application for tracking NFL Free Agent movement.

Tad is on our BI/Data Visualization team, and has shown a strong interest in, and skill with, Silverlight 2. One of the earliest demos he showed me was a cool geomapped data visualization for one of our clients. Since Silverlight builds on existing skillsets in .NET and C#, it is very approachable to anyone with a .NET background, even if they have never used WPF or any other RIA platform.

You can find Tad's blog post on the NFL Free Agency Movement application here.

    Looks very nice. My monitor is at 1600x1200 and the Wiki popup does not appear to center correctly. Wide screens seems be to fine, but 4:3 has issues.
