Silverlight/WPF Nanocamp February 16, 2008

The Silverlight course will be a hands-on tutorial-based class where we will build a demo website similar to this: http://windowspresentationfoundation.com/Silverlight/Default.html

The WPF course will teach you everything you need to know to start developing WPF applications on your own. We will learn about the Blend and C# Express IDEs. We will learn about XAML (Extensible Application Markup Language) and how it and C# play different roles in WPF applications. We will learn about the Blend Timeline Panel to create StoryBoard animations. We will learn about VisualBrushes that allow us to "brush" content onto other objects. We will learn about 3D XAML objects and how to import them into and manipulate them in Blend. We will then learn how to create Events and EventHandlers that will then run our StoryBoards.

Below is a video example of how you will be developing in Silverlight:
