About Me
David Eitan Poll is a Software Engineer at Google in Mountain View, California.
Prior to joining Google, David was a Program Manager with Microsoft. He joined Microsoft in June 2008 after two summer internships with the Application Frameworks team.
David grew up in Yorba Linda, California — a suburban paradise in “The O.C.” He attended Troy High School in Fullerton, California and graduated in 2005 with an International Baccalaureate diploma. After high school, he high-tailed it up to the Bay Area to study Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley. After earning his B.A. in Computer Science and graduating with High Honors in 2007, he continued on at Cal to finish an M.Sc. in Computer Science in 2008. While at Berkeley, he was a member and president of the International Honor Society for the Computer Sciences, Upsilon Pi Epsilon – Nu Chapter.
Before returning to California from Microsoft’s headquarters in Redmond, Washington, David worked on the Silverlight team and focused on RIA and business applications. He continues to have a deep interest in Silverlight, both on the desktop and phone — wherever it may appear.
David’s other hobbies include Barbershop harmony (he has, in the past, sung with Northwest Sound and Northwest Vocal Project, and now sings with Voices in Harmony and his quartet: First Strike), puns and wordplay, and learning about/discussing the issues of the day.

Are there any updates for the “On-demand loading of assemblies with Silverlight Navigation” for Silverlight 4??

Yes — I posted about this a while ago (during the SL4 Beta). Here’s the blog post: http://www.davidpoll.com/2010/02/01/on-demand-loading-of-assemblies-with-silverlight-navigation-revisited-for-silverlight-4-beta/
Use the latest version of SLaB (on the Downloads and Samples page).

I think your contact page needs a message… if the message was sent successful… I was not prompted with any success or failure… so you might get a couple emails from me =)
