*Sorry for the slightly OT spam, but given the high cross-over between WPF and Silverlight this might be of interest to some folks...who happen to live in Brisbane. If you don't live in Brisbane similar events are happening in most Australian capital cities over the coming weeks.*
Microsoft with the help of and a few prominent community members have organized a WPF training day in a number<http://jcooney.net/http://www.onedotnetway.com/wpf-community-workshop-learn-wpf-and-raise-money/>of cities<http://blogs.msdn.com/dglover/archive/2009/03/13/windows-presentation-foundation-community-workshop-melbourne-sat-mar-28th-and-bushfire-appeal.aspx>across Australia in the coming weeks. Paul Stovell <http://paulstovell.com/> and I will be conducting the Brisbane training and labs at Cliftons <http://www.cliftons.com.au/> on Edward Street in the CBD <http://www.cliftons.com.au/page/brisbane.html> on the 28th of March (a Saturday). The nominal $100 charitable donation will go to the Red Cross Victorian BushFire Appeal<http://www.redcross.org.au/vic/services_emergencyservices_victorian-bushfires-appeal-2009.htm>. Microsoft are providing pizza for lunch & Cliftons have also been kind enough to donate their training facilities at minimal cost. I'm hoping this will be a really great day, and the best part is that most of what you learn will translate directly to Silverlight too! We have only 40 slots so register your interest ASAP. *To register your interest * email Paul: *[email protected]* or myself: *[email protected]* We'll be trying to cover a lot of the core capabilties of WPF including... 1. Creating layouts, compositions and templates 2. Building custom controls 3. Working with Styles and control templates (includes using Expression Blend to restyle) 4. Using the Ribbon control to effortlessly create applications that are as familiar to your customers as Office 2007 (not to mention the Windows 7 Core Applications) 5. Working with the new DataGrid control to display tabular and editable data 6. Binding data with ease to your user interface 7. Anything else you want to know about...Bring along your questions - Paul can speak eloquently about any topic in WPF at will. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Support procedure: https://www.codify.com/lists/support List address: [email protected] Subscribe: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [email protected] List FAQ: http://www.codify.com/lists/ozsilverlight Other lists you might want to join: http://www.codify.com/lists
