A few months back I wrote an article for the UK MSDN Flash newsletter. That article is now available in a free e-book and my podcast interview about the article with Eric Nelson is now also available.

A Real Time Rich Internet Application (RTRIA) Example
Phil Leggetter
I’ve just had an article published in the latest UK MSDN Flash newsletter on How to consume real-time data in a Silverlight RIA. As part of writing up the article I developed a sample Real-Time Rich Internet Application (RTRIA) that consumes real-time data from the Twitter real-time data feed. I also put together my first ever screencast. So, you can start by getting hold of the code or watching the screencast.
The Code
First, and this is Important:
To get the sample application to stream real-time data from the Twitter real-time feed you will need to use Fiddler to trick Silverlight into allowing a crossdomain Web Request.Now that you are aware of that, you will also need the Silverlight development environment. You can get everything you need via the Silverlight Getting Started page.
You’ve now got everything you need to run the RTRIA example. To run the sample application you should set the MSDNFlashRTRIAExample.Web project as the startup project and the MSDNFlashRTRIAExampleTestPage.html page as the startup page.
Setting up the solution to run the application
If you’d like to find out a bit more about the code then read on. If you’d rather jump straight into the code you can download it from the TweetStreamer Google Code project.
