Phoenix Silverlight User Group Meeting Tonight August 5, 2009


The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Phoenix Silverlight User Group will be tonight, Wednesday August 5 at 6pm at Interface Technical Training in downtown Phoenix (Central and Thomas, NW corner). The graphic above is a link to a map :)

Adam Wolf is going to be giving the perfect followup to Steele Price's presentation last month by giving the inside scoop on Prism!

I can't be there tonight, so Steele will be officiating, and if history proves correct, we should blow the walls out... for some reason every meeting I've missed has had a large crowd :)

Hope you all make it on a hot night in Phoenix to see Adam discuss a hot topic.
