Thanks for visiting my blog!
If you are in the Washington, DC area (or are close enough to fly), I am coming to teach two courses just after Thanksgiving.
The first is my newly revamped Silverlight Tour course that has been updated for Silverlight 5. This three-day course includes information on how to build line-of-business applications using Silverlight. Topics include:
- Designing with XAML
- Data Binding
- Using MVVM
- Unit Testing with Silverlight
- Accessing Services with Silverlight
If you’re trying to get up to speed with the latest version of Silverlight, or are new to XAML-based development – this is the course for you. Free with every attendance to the Silverlight Tour are several key tools:
- A Full License to Telerik’s Great Suite of Silverlight Controls
- A Full License to IdeaBlade’s DevForce product for simplifying N-Tier development with Silverlight
- And a License to view all of my Pluralsight content online for 60 days!
If you signup before November 2nd, you get the early-bird pricing of $1,695 for the course! You can register for the event being held on Nov 30-Dec 2nd here:

Web Development for XAML Developers
In addition, I am debuting a brand new course called “Web Development for XAML Developers”. In this two-day course I help XAML developers take their design, data binding and MVVM knowledge and apply it to client-side web development. This course will cover
- Comparing HTML5 and XAML
- JavaScript and Managed Code
- Making Sense of HTML5 and CSS3
- Understanding jQuery
- JavaScript Basics including Object Oriented JavaScript and using JSON
- Working with Services
- Implementing MVVM on the Web with KnockoutJS
Since this is our first holding of this course, we’re introducing a special pricing for this and only this event of $1,295 ($200 off). If you register before Halloween, you can get an additional $300 off (for a final price of $995)! You can register for November 28-29th event for this special price here:
