Silverlight and WPF Workshop in NYC 9/3/2008
Next week I will be in New York City meeting customers and I will be holding a free half-day mini-workshop at the Microsoft office on 6th Avenue to teach people about building Silverlight and WPF applications with Expression Studio and Visual Studio. I've put together an ambitious agenda but I hope to hit each of these topics with examples and demonstrations using both Expression Studio and Visual Studio. Since I work with Media and Communications companies, there will be a slight bent towards scenarios involving online publishing and media:
- Overview of Silverlight & WPF
- Designer developer workflow using XAML
- Using Expression Studio to craft Silverlight and WPF User Experiences
- Styling and Skinning
- Data Binding
- Using Visual Studio to hook up Silverlight on the front end to services & Windows Live on the back end and in the cloud
- IE8 and Silverlight
- Web Analytics and SEO for Silverlight
If you're a designer or a developer or somewhere in between and this looks like something that you're interested in, please contact me ASAP (include your name, email, company, and role) because I still have some space available. Here are the logistics:
What: | Silverlight and WPF |
Where: | Microsoft, 6th Floor, 1290 6th Avenue @ 52nd Street New York, NY |
When: | Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008 8:30 AM-12:00 PM |
