Here's a great opportunity to get a hands on look at Silverlight 2, which recently made it to to Beta 2.
From Pete Brown's blog post:
On June 13, 2008 in the Microsoft Reston Technology Center, join AIS, Cynergy and Microsoft for the first Silverlight TechFest. This is a full day event focusing on Silverlight and Expression. We'll build a full application showing key parts of the process both on the UI side with the designer/developer relationship, and on the back end with WCF services and and business logic. I'll be doing the afternoon session on Silverlight and WCF.
Here's official description:
Microsoft TechFest – Building Rich Interactive Web Applications with Silverlight and Expression
You are cordially invited to join us in a full-day event for developers and designers. Our first TechFest series will focus on how to use Microsoft latest web design and development technologies and tools such as Silverlight, ASP.NET AJAX, and Expression to create rich interactive web applications. While each session will focus on a specific area, we try to blend discussions and demos in the context of a real world application.
Microsoft TechFest events are collaborative efforts between Microsoft and Microsoft partners. We are very grateful to AIS and Cynergy Systems for their support and for Cynergy’s generous sponsorship for the event.
It's a free event but seating is limited, so register today.
