With January almost behind us, the season of events and conferences is coming closer.
I’ve been confirmed for quite some event already, more on this later.
Since a few days, the first batch of sessions for TechDays 2010 Belgium has been made available on www.techdays.be. I’ll be doing 2 sessions, more specifically:
- Silverlight 4 tour de force, with a little of WPF 4 sauce on top
2007... Silverlight 1.0 is released. 2010… Silverlight 4 is almost upon us. Did you lose track of all the new features that are in the platform right now? And how does Silverlight 4 compare to WPF 4?
In this session, we will take you on a tour through the most exciting features that Silverlight 4 has to offer, varying from Trusted application to full data binding support, from rich text-editing to webcam support etc. While we’re at it, we’ll look at how WPF 4 can help you achieve the same effects.
After this session, you’ll have a better understanding on the position of Silverlight 4 and WPF 4 and their newest features.
- Building business data-driven applications FAST with WCF RIA Services and Silverlight
NET RIA Services is a new framework allowing you to get easy access to your data in Silverlight applications. While still in beta, this new framework has already caused quite a stir in the community. In this session, we'll explore the current version and its features. This session contains mostly demo’s on how to build a business application with .NET RIA Services.
I’ll also be at DevDays NL, more on this in a few days.
From Visug, we'll also be doing something very special on Thursday April 1st in Antwerp after TechDays, so keep your agenda free that night!
