• Attend the WPF Virtual Bootcamp - no need to register!

  People frequently ask me how they can learn WPF quickly. Now the technology has been on the market for a while, there are a number of different choices: books from the likes of Petzold , Moroney , Nathan , MacDonald , Anderson and Sells/Griffiths , classroom training from companies like Pluralsight , Wintellect , Developmentor and IdentityMine , and online tutorials like those from Nibbles or lynda.com . I'm excited to announce another choice today: we've made available a three-day virtual training course that covers all aspects of WPF as part of MIX University, and it's completely free ! This course was delivered here on campus in Redmond earlier this year for a small invited audience, and as we drew up the syllabus and speaker list, we realized we had something special on our hands.

  It's my hope that you're somewhat excited by this Silverlight stuff, and if so, perhaps you're wanting to spread the word amongst your fellow colleagues. To that end, I thought I'd share a couple of presentations that I've given often over the last couple of months. You're welcome to use these slides for your own education or for delivering to others. Creating Rich Web Experiences with Silverlight 1.0 . This presentation provides a technical overview of Silverlight 1.0, explaining the various features and how to use Silverlight to add richer interactions and media to a web site. Building Rich Internet Applications with Silverlight 1.1 . This second presentation follows on naturally from the previous one, and describes how the .NET Framework can be used as a supplemental set of development technologies to build RIAs with Silverlight. It also describes how you can use a language like C# as a programming language for a pure HTML solution. Anyway, feel free to use these as you see fit. Oh, Read More...
