Silverlight Talks in SL and RL

Amanda Silver, Lead Program Manager for Visual Basic (and 50 Cent fan) is giving a talk in Second Life, Tuesday, July 31, 4 p.m. Pacific Time (which is also Second Life Time). The talk is being held on Visual Studio Island (Here's the SLURL). Amanda will be speaking in the Visual Studio Theater. Come early to get a good view -- the theater only seats about 60 avatars.

If you miss today's talk, Brad Abrams, GPM for the UI Framework and Services team is giving a talk on the Island on August 30, at 3:00 p.m. Brad will be discussing ASP.NET AJAX and Silverlight.

Also if it's dark out when you get to the island, you can always Crtl-Shift-Y to force the sun to noon. For more online Silverlight training check out Dr. Dobb's Sparkleball tutorial.

As for Real Life training, Tim Sneath has posted a healthy list of Silverlight and WPF training courses happening in RL all around the globe. The courses are being held throughout August and September by Microsoft partners, including Wintellect, Dunn Training, Developmentor, and others.
