I’ll be presenting two sessions (communications and biz apps) at the Silverlight 2 firestarter in Malvern PA this weekend. If you want to learn how to build Silverlight 2 applications now, and be prepared for what’s coming with Silverlight 3, I encourage you to attend this full-day event.
Here’s the skinny:
Silverlight 2 Firestarter
Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device plug-in for delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web. By using Expression Studio and Visual Studio, designers and developers can collaborate more effectively using the skills they have today to light up the Web of tomorrow.
Come on out for a full day of learning about Silverlight at our Silverlight 2.0 Firestarter. We’ll start out with an overview of the technology and dig deeper as the day goes on. By the time you leave, you’ll be ready to crack open the tools on your own machine and fire up your own web applications with Silverlight!
