You asked for it, you got it! MSDN Events Unleashed

So, we all like to make demands, don't we?  How come WE don't get more Microsoft events HERE?  I have proof that those demands have been heard AND are being met.  Rob Bagby has set up some great MSDN events, all over Colorado.  The link directly below is for the Colorado Springs event, but scroll down for links for more events in Colorado.  And if you've not heard Rob before, you are in for a treat.  Smart guy.  Easy to understand.  Genuinely interested in what he is teaching you.

 

Did I mention they are FREE to attend!??!

 

The next logical question:  How do we get one of these to come to us in Montana?  Utah?  To me!??!?!  I presented Rob with that question and he shared that events are in the works all over the area and that if you're not currently on the list, work with him, gather 50 people or so and you'll get your event near you.  Pretty awesome if you ask me.  ([email protected])

 

MSDN Events Unleashed: Demystifying WPF, Silverlight 2 and Visual Studio 2008 SP1

 

MSDN Events Unleashed: Demystifying WPF, Silverlight 2 and Visual Studio 2008 SP1

Today’s applications need to do more than simply work.  They need to draw in the user, and provide a differentiated experience. This means moving beyond battleship gray forms boxy UIs and simple HTML forms, and providing a positive user experience.  Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Silverlight 2 provide powerful capabilities to develop compelling user interfaces, on the client and in the browser, respectively. 

At the heart of these rich applications is data.  There are a growing number of choices of technologies available to access data, create database abstraction layers and expose data as services.  Visual Studio 2008 (and .NET Framework 3.5) SP1 include the production release of the ADO.NET Entity Framework, ADO.NET Data Services, as well as some enhancements to the Web Programming model (REST-Friendly) in WCF. 

In these sessions, Rob Bagby will examine the core concepts of WPF and Silverlight such as layout panels, data binding, styles and control templates, and will use them to develop an application UI from the ground up.  Rob will further examine and demystify the options available to you to expose data to your rich applications.
