Summary
The Silverlight Workshop is a soup-to-nuts breakdown of Silverlight for
professional designers. This includes learning the ins and outs of
XAML, hosting in the browser, the tools and using Silverlight on the
server.
Who Should Attend?
No prior experience with Expression Design or Blend is
necessary. You also don't need to worry about
having experience with XAML or WPF. We do expect you have
some Web design experience and understand the fundamentals of writing
Javascript code.
We originally designed this course based on requirements from Microsoft
and have delivered the training to a host of Microsoft clients and
employees in multiple cities with rave reviews.
This course was created with designers as the target
audience. If you want to bring your pages to life with
Silverlight or need to add Silverlight skills to your arsenal as an
existing Flash developer, you'll love this class.
