« Can't we just delete all of the Silverli... | Main | Another Gig, Another Direction »

If you are looking to learn about Silverlight development, here is your chance.  Our local Microsoft Developer Evangelists are running a free full day event this Saturday featuring a good variety of information. 

To learn more or register, click here.

If you are a beginner or haven't gotten started yet, this is a great opportunity.  I'm not a beginner and my weekends are pretty busy these days.  So initially, I was going to skip this event.  But from my conversation with Dani Diaz last night, it sounds like there will be a decent range of information here, so I think I will attend too. 

I don't know the full agenda but some of the speakers include Dani, Lindsay Rutter, Bill Wolff and Pete Brown.  That's a good line up but to be perfectly honest, Pete Brown is the big draw for me.  I've been reading his blog since I started doing Silverlight development, this guy really knows his stuff.  One thing I've learned over time is that if a good speaker if giving a talk, even on a topic that I think I know fairly well, it is worth attending.  You never know what kind of tidbit you may pick up from them!

Hope to see you there.

Any recommendations for setting up your machine (software, etc) in anticipation of this event?

Nick,
I am not involved with this event so I can't speak definitively. But I don't think it is a hands on event. However, that doesn't mean that you can't try to follow along.
The best information for setting up a machine for Silverlight development is right on the official Silverlight web site:
