WPF/Silverlight User Experience Training

by Don Burnett

I will soon be offering training on WPF and Silverlight for with a focus on design. If you are a programmer and interested in getting into WPF or Silverlight but need to enhance your design background, this training is aimed at you. How this training differs from other vendors, is that the focus of this training is from the designer perspective.

As a developer you can no longer depend on just your coding skills to make a great interface that is successful in the marketplace. You need to think about design from day one. Where are you going to get this? From other developers (NO!) ? You need true design experience and to work with someone who has been on both sides of the fence and worked on integration.

This training will not only come from a design focus, but it will offer you what you need to know to make a full application possible. If you aren't a full-fledged Windows platform application developer you will appreciate the fact, that the training will be very understandable for someone who just has Adobe/Macromedia Web development experience. It will help you get from here to there, and deep dive into tools like Expression Blend, Design, and Media. If you are new to this, it's a good introduction to Rich Internet Application development as well.

If you are interested send me an email (training@donburnett.com) with your contact info to get on the mailing list list about availability, costs, etc. Be you put "TRAINING" in caps in the subject line, so you don't get filtered out..

Don,

Good luck with your WPF developer/designer training. I'd encourage you to take a look at InnerWorkings' free promotion on WPF styles and control templates - more of a developer perspective, but could be a good fit for your audience as practical hands-on coding challenges:
