From SilverlightCream.com:

Silverlight + JavaScript = Ultimate Combo

Silverlight basics. Validation. Part 1. DataAnnotations & ValidatesOnExceptions

Silverlight basics. Validation. Part 2. IDataErrorInfo & INotifyDataErrorInfo
In the second of the series, Denis Gladkikh takes on validation via IDataErrorInfo and INofigyDataErrorInfo... you should read Part 1 before this one if you aren't already familiar with the material.

Phoenix Silverlight User Group Meeting Dec 1 with Joel Neubeck on WP7 Dev



Phoenix Silverlight User Group Meeting December 1 featuring Joel Neubeck!

Come out to Interface Technical Training on December 1 in Phoenix to get some great Windows Phone 7 discussion from Joel Neubeck.

As always, pizza and greet-up starts at 6PM, followed at 6:30 or whenever everybody rounds up by the meeting which runs until 8PM.

I've got a bunch of WP7 swag I need to get to the facility before I get out of here on Tuesday, and yes I'm going to miss the meeting :(

If you're anywhere in the area, come on down for a great discussion.

The Future of Silverlight Starts Now (well, ok December 2, but it's close!)



You don't have to come to Redmond to drink the Kool-Aid, you can mix up your own batch at home!

The entire Firestarter is streamed online... so curl up in front of your monitor, or find another bunch of like-minded geeks and have pizza delivered!

In all likelihood, unless you live in the sticks, somewhere nearby might be a UserGroup having a Firestarter day event.

However you attend, I've been told I can say that you shouldn't miss this event!

If, however, you are going to be there in person, ping me so we can meet up.
