Mar 23 Microsoft Professional Developers\u2019 Day @ DevWeek 2009 London <\/a><\/p>\n

Register for PDD before 27 February to receive the discount rate of \u00a3219 + VAT<\/strong>. The Professional Developers\u2019 Day (PDD) is a Microsoft exclusive, single-day event designed to give you an early preview of Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework v4.0 as unveiled at the 2008 Professional Developers Conference (PDC) in Los Angeles. We guarantee there will be no slides and no marketing fluff. Instead we\u2019ll be delivering lots of code and lots of demos using the very latest technologies from Microsoft, including samples and more for you to take away. With so much new technology to choose from we have split the day into 10 self-contained sessions, each digging surprisingly deeply into what we believe are the most relevant and impactful changes in the .NET Framework and Visual Studio. Our goal is to ensure you finish the day able to identify which technologies will help you deliver better solutions in the future and hence focus your own research time in the right areas. And to add to the fun, we\u2019ll be showcasing a range of \u2018after hours\u2019 technologies in the Expo area, including XNA, robotics, and Photosynth. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What:<\/strong>
\nMSDN: Catch Up with Microsoft Rich Client Technologies for 2008<\/strong><\/p>\n

Event Description
\nAudience: Developers <\/p>\n

In this half-day session we\u2019ll do a refresh of the technologies that we can use to build rich, interactive clients with .NET in 2008. We\u2019ll take a look at how we can be cross-platform, cross-browser with Silverlight 2 and yet get the full development experience of a .NET application and then we\u2019ll explore how we can take that further with the Windows Presentation Foundation V3.5 Service Pack 1 which allows for the richest, most-productive development model for Windows applications. There\u2019ll be lots of demos and code as we bring you bang-up-to-date with what\u2019s happening in the world of Microsoft clients. <\/p>\n

Agenda:
\nSilverlight 2: From Scratch<\/p>\n

Haven\u2019t seen or experimented with Silverlight 2? This session is for you. We\u2019ll explain the platform\u2019s capabilities for rich, internet applications and we\u2019ll look at how you go about building applications using a combination of the XAML language and the .NET Framework. Along the way, we\u2019ll look at the major stepping stones like how we can make use of the network, how we can make use of the filesystem, how we can re-use and make use of existing controls and we\u2019ll look at the controls that come \u201cin the box\u201d along with the ones in the Silverlight Toolkit on CodePlex. We\u2019ll also look at the tooling involved in building a Silverlight 2 application with Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 and Expression Blend 2 Service Pack 1. <\/p>\n

Windows Presentation Foundation: From Scratch<\/p>\n

New to WPF? Coming back to the world of \u201crich client\u201d after building web applications? In this session we\u2019ll do a refresh of what Windows Presentation Foundation is, what its core capabilities are and how we build applications using a combination of the XAML language and the .NET Framework. We\u2019ll bring this bang up-to-date by having a look at what\u2019s new for WPF since its original release in 2006 and we\u2019ll look at some of the newer developments such as the WPF Toolkit with its DataGrid and Ribbon controls on CodePlex.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
