What’s new in Silverlight 4 tonight at D2SIG

Following my great one-day notice about my speaking trip to the South Florida .NET Code Camp, here’s a same-day notice about your next opportunity to attend one of my sessions. Tonight, Tuesday, I’ll be speaking at the D2SIG in the Houston offices of Microsoft. I’ll be presenting a new “What’s New in Silverlight 4” session, where we’ll do the basic walk-thru of some of the more significant changes in the next version of Silverlight (like printing, data binding, notifications, and so on).

The session starts promptly (as I learned by being late to speak last time) at 6:00 PM. If you’re in Houston and you’re ready to start working with Silverlight, don’t miss this great introduction to the newest features. You can RSVP for the session on the EPS Software website and then we’ll see you tonight. I will, of course, have some Telerik swag to give away, if bribery is the incentive you need.

Join me for Silverlight training TODAY (in Houston)

With all the hustle and bustle of the Telerik Q1 release, I forgot to plug my free half-day Silverlight 2.0 training that's happening today at the Microsoft offices in Houston! This four-hour training will cover everything from 101 to 301 and it will be a mix of presentation and hands-on labs (that I've created specifically for this training). The goal is to enable people that have never worked with Silverlight to learn everything they need to know to feel comfortable building "real" applications for themselves with Silverlight 2.0 (3.0 is off-limits for this training). The training will start at 1:00 PM local time and run 'til about 5:00 PM. The official title of this session is ".NET Dojo: Silverlight"- not my title, but it works, especially with the Telerik .NET Ninja motif. If you want to attend, you'll need to register, which you can still do online through Microsoft: http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/EventDetail.aspx?EventID=1032405198&Culture=en-US I will be repeating this training in Austin on April 2nd, so if you're in the Austin area, watch for that registration soon. Otherwise, for those of you in driving distance to Houston, I hope to see you in a few hours at the training!
