AZGroups.org 2009 Scott Guthrie Event


It's only 15 days from the Scott Guthrie event in Scottsdale, Arizona

If you are not on the AZGroups email list, you should check out the Registration Page for all the various ways you can register.

Registration is full, but Scott Cate knows that there are folks that can't make it at the last moment, and since he has to arrange for lunches in advance, he has a registration that is open but lunch is waitlisted :) ... so just tell your buddy that there is no lunch and when he brown-bags it, you can get his!

If you'd rather
  • Ensure yourself a good spot
  • Get to sit at a table
  • Get electricity for your laptop and free wireless
  • Be a total geek
you can sign up for VIP seating. If you're already registered, doing so is a way to support the event because you're freeing up a seat and lunch for someone else!

From the same page you can also volunteer to help out at the event and also cancel if you know you can't make it.

Win a free VIP Pass:

Josh Coffman at Computerist Solutions bought one more VIP ticket than they need and are going to give the ticket to one lucky winner, so check out that link if you're not signed up as one yet!.

I'll let you read about the event on the Registration page linked above, but Scott Guthrie, Jamie Rodriguez, and Glenn Block are going to be in Scottsdale all day May 26th to amaze and astound us with everything a good developer needs :)

I'll be there geeking out with my buddy Michael Washington at one of the VIP seats :)

In this Issue: SmartyP, Andrea Boschin, Mike Taulty(2), Tim Heuer, Shawn Wildermuth(2), Jordan Knight, Steve Strong, Ashish Shetty, and Kevin Dockx.

It was a busy weekend, beginning with Friday, so SC's been pretty quiet. Lucikly everyone else has been as well, so the list isn't overly long today :)


From SilverlightCream.com:
Create Circular Rotating Text in Expression Blend
SmartyP has an artle up on Alex Knight's site... he's demonstrating wrapping text around a button this time... and a very nice-looking job it is!
A bit of Physics for an InertialScrollViewer
Andrea Boschin adds some physics effects to the build a Scroll Viewer something like the the UI we've come to accept on the IPhone.
Expression Blend 3: More on Actions, Triggers, Behaviors
Mike Taulty has two posts up (when I checked) and this first is on Actions, Triggers, and Behaviors and after giving some great intro links he moves into a great article about all that!
Expression Blend 3: Trying a drag-and-drop behavior (part 1)
Mike Taulty's second post is then playing with a new Drag and Drop behavior in Blend 3 ... good stuff.

Tim Heuer refactors the ChildWindow box to make it work non-modal. In addition to the discussion, Tim provides the code plus VS templates... wow :)
Debugging Silverlight in IE8 (on Windows 7)
Shawn Wildermuth has two posts up ... this first one is about getting IE8 to get out of our way during debug. Wonder if that's the problem I've been having?? ... have to look into that, thanks Shawn!
Supporting ScreenReaders in Silverlight
Shawn Wildermuth's second offering is a discussion of Screen Readers in Silverlight and how accessible our applications might be... good question!
Silverlight Slider that snaps to rounded value when dragged
Jordan Knight also has a post up ... and very useful it is.. having a slider 'snap' to a value when dragged.. how cool is that?
Beat Box Application - Part 3: Playing Media Elements
Steve Strong has Part 3 of his Beat Box application up .. this time playing media elements. This includes restarting and playing multiples at once.
