If you’re not familiar with the Silverlight Tour:
The Silverlight Tour Workshop is a three-day course on Silverlight 4 and 5. It divides the content into three distinct areas: Design, Development and the Server-Side. Students should be able to develop Silverlight applications once attending the workshop. The Workshop is structured with a mix of didactic lessons, demonstrations and hands-on labs. Each student will leave the workshop having created several small Silverlight applications. This variety of learning techniques will ensure that all students become proficient in the technology quickly and in an exciting way.
The Silverlight Tour Workshop also includes a complimentary license to Telerik’s RadControls for Silverlight for every attendee* (a $999.00 value). For more information on RadControls, you can visit there site at http://telerik.com.
