I'll be speaking at Tech Ed Europe next week. I hope you can
attend. My sessions are:
DEV205 - 10 Things Every Silverlight and WPF Developer Must
Know
Tuesday November 9 at 6:00pm
If you're a code-on-the-client guy, Silverlight and WPF are the
technologies to know. However, they can be really hard to get into.
Let's face it, XaML, dependency properties, the binding system -
these are all new to most developers. This session is a crash
course on developing in XaML-based technologies and will give you
everything you need to know to get started, the knowledge you'll
need to build on, and where to go once you move beyond Hello World.
Interested in Silverlight or WPF but haven't been able to get past
the initial barriers? This session is for you.
DEV306 - Introduction to WCF RIA Services for Silverlight 4
Developers
Wednesday November 10 at 4:00 PM
WCF RIA Services, released alongside Silverlight 4, represents a
new take on multi-tier application development. In this code-heavy
talk, we'll introduce RIA Services and then walk through how you
can use it to build your own applications using Silverlight 4 and
ASP.NET.
DEV308 - Light up on Windows 7
Friday November 12 at 10:30am
Silverlight and WPF applications can both light up on Windows 7,
using features like task bar pinning, speech synthesis and the
sensor and location API. In this session we'll see how to make your
Silverlight apps look great and look native when run on Windows,
and how to build amazing WPF applications that take advantage of
the APIs offered by Windows 7.
WEB302 - Silverlight Experts Roundtable

Gill Cleeren, Laurent Bugnion, Pete Brown
In this interactive session you will get the chance to put the
toughest questions to the Silverlight experts.
If you're attending and have an app you've built and want to
show off (Silverlight, WPF, Windows Phone, ASP.NET, Windows Forms)
catch me in the halls and we'll do a video interview video for
Channel 9.
