The Washington DC stop on the Silverlight Tour is coming up. It’s June 16th-18th!
More and more employers are looking for Silverlight experience, and this is a great way to learn Silverlight 2 and Silverlight 3.

The Silverlight Tour is sponsoring Portland Code Camp 2009 by giving away a free seat! Register and show up to have a chance to win.
This year’s Code Camp is May 30, 2009 at Reed College. It’s looking like a great event. There are already 409 registered users and 54 sessions.
I’m going to be there, and I’m giving a talk on Prism. There are also other Silverlight talks (MVVM, debugging Silverlight, LOB apps), and lots of non-Silverlight talks (iphone, accessibility, client side rendering, lean software development, SEO, etc.) as well.

There have been a lot of requests for us to do screencasts. Good news: we’re kicking off a series of videos about MVVM in Silverlight.
The first video is here and covers how to do MVVM in Silverlight without extra helpers (like Prism, etc.). It’s based on Shawn Wildermuth’s MSDN article. If you’re interested in best-practices in Silverlight, this is a video for you.

As you may know, Erik teaches Silverlight courses through the Silverlight Tour. Today we’d like to announce the arrival of Agilitrain by Shawn Wildermuth. Not only will Agilitrain run the Silverlight Tour, but new workshops have also been added such as: Advanced Silverlight, Silverlight for Sharepoint and Model Driven Development with Oslo. If you are interesting in Silverlight training, take a look at the site!
