DevTeach Montreal Day 3

Wow.. what a week... by the third day of a conference, I find I'm just totally maxxed on information and tired, and this one is no exception.

My first presentation was yesterday just before lunch and I got some nice comments which was cool... also had some negatives, but I think it was from folks that were expecting more meat. Yesterday I spoke on styling controls with static resources, then moved on to the toolkit themes, ImplicitStyleManager,and then moved the app.xaml resources into a Resource Dictionary.

Today I followed David Kelley, and cracked open a radio button with Blend just to show where the bodies were buried, then opened a new project and completely re-clothed a ToggleButton as a red LED with a rollover flash and when pressed, it stays pushed in :) ... I think this one was better received.

My last one was on data binding ... very simple and low-level, but av complete solution for one time, one way, and two-way binding plus value converters, data templates, and a simple WCF webservice.

For everyone at DevTeach, I've just uploaded a refresh of all my material.

For everyone NOT at DevTeach, this material will make it to my site soon.

Thanks to Rod Paddock and Jean-René Roy for the opporunity, and thanks to all the devs that I met there that attended my sessions... and keep in touch!


Stay in the 'Light!
