DESCRIPTION:This event is free to attend but you must register at  htt
	p://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/EventDetail.aspx?EventID=1032397778&Cul
	ture=en-GB\n\nOverview:\n \nIn this half-day session we’ll do a refr
	esh of the technologies that we can use to build rich\, interactive cl
	ients with .NET in 2008. We’ll take a look at how we can be cross-pl
	atform\, cross-browser with Silverlight 2 and yet get the full develop
	ment experience of a .NET application and then we’ll explore how we 
	can take that further with the Windows Presentation Foundation V3.5 Se
	rvice Pack 1 which allows for the richest\, most-productive developmen
	t model for Windows applications. There’ll be lots of demos and code
	 as we bring you bang-up-to-date with what’s happening in the world 
	of Microsoft clients.\n\nSilverlight 2: From Scratch\n\nHaven’t seen
	 or experimented with Silverlight 2? This session is for you. We’ll 
	explain the platform’s capabilities for rich\, internet applications
	 and we’ll look at how you go about building applications using a co
	mbination of the XAML language and the .NET Framework. Along the way\,
	 we’ll 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-u
	se and make use of existing controls and we’ll look at the controls 
	that come “in the box” along with the ones in the Silverlight Tool
	kit on CodePlex. We’ll also look at the tooling involved in building
	 a Silverlight 2 application with Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 an
	d Expression Blend 2 Service Pack 1.\n\nWindows Presentation Foundatio
	n: From Scratch\n\nNew to WPF? Coming back to the world of “rich cli
	ent” after building web applications? In this session we’ll do a r
	efresh of what Windows Presentation Foundation is\, what its core capa
	bilities are and how we build applications using a combination of the 
	XAML language and the .NET Framework. We’ll bring this bang up-to-da
	te by having a look at what’s new for WPF since its original release
	 in 2006 and we’ll look at some of the newer developments such as th
	e WPF Toolkit with its DataGrid and Ribbon controls on CodePlex.
