As mentioned last episode, we had the chance to talk with Microsoft’s Brad Becker about last week’s Silverlight 2.0 launch. Before we dive into the nitty-gritty, Ryan gets Brad to tell us about his illustrious background in the RIA world: that dude has been around ;>

Keying off his own background, Brad then tells the history of Silverlight and that launches us into a detailed discussion of Silverlight 2.0: from Deep Zoom, to more controls, to the multi-language support, to back-end integration, and off to Eclipse and Moonlight.

To cap it off, Ryan asks Brad for a preview of the upcoming PDC announcements.
