Silverlight Firestarter this Thursday - Don't Forget!!

This is a great week to be in Seattle... and no I'm not... but hey, keep reading!

As announced by Tim Heuer: It’s Silverlight week in Seattle beginning tonight at the .NET DA User Group meeting with none-other than the illustrious Silverlight Geek TM himself, Jesse Liberty presenting on .NET RIA Services!

Tomorrow is a Silverlight Nerd Dinner where you can feel right at home with others that don't have a clue about what fork to use, or why doesn't all food come either rolled up or flat and easy to hold?

Thursday evening, Tim Heuer, the Silverlight pride of Phoenix will be speaking at the Interact group on styling/templating and behaviors.

Starting to feel left out? [hint: keep reading]

Then the big event takes place on Thursday... a Seattle Silverlight 3 Firestarter event with Scott Guthrie, Tim heuer, Adam Kinney, Shawn Oster, Brad Abrams, and Karl Shifflett. I'd be hard-pressed to name a more august panel of Silverlight experts!

Not in Seattle? No problem! ... just go to the Registration Page, and sign yourself up for the online experience... yeah... the whole thing is going to be zooming across your monitor and through your headset!

I just looked and the registration says they're full... so even if you're in Seattle, no problem... sign up for the online experience and join all of us Silverlight junkies as we watch the presentations.

I'll be there... join me and

Stay in the 'Light!

In this Issue: Allan Muller, Mark Monster, Kirupa, Shawn Wildermuth, Nikhil Kothari, John Papa, Expression Blend and Design Blog, Terence Tsang, Microsoft Expresson Product Site, and Matthias Shapiro.

Shoutout:

Randi Relander posted another new game on his SilverGames site: Silver Games Checkers: 0.0.1 Released

I mentioned Silverlight.XP from Fons Sonnemans and Loek van den Ouweland when it first went live, but I thought I'd mention it again since it's starting to get some traction: Silverlight.XP
This is a little late, because I had problems posting on Friday and was gone all weekend.

From SilverlightCream.com:
