New Live Presentation Series – Starts 6/25

I am pleased to announce a new series, blending Conference-quality presentations delivered through Live Meeting via the Live From Redmond Series.

Audience, Goal and Purpose

Each presentation will provide a thorough overview of a Silverlight 2 topic with a focused priority of explaining

What is this feature and why do you care?
What are the most important things you need to know?
Where can you learn more?

Every presentation will be paired with a blog entry containing links to videos, tutorials, and other resources to complement the material presented. The tutorials and videos will focus on how, but the Presentation will focus on What and Why.

While there will be quite a bit of code shown, these are not “How Do I” presentations but rather “What do I need to know and why do I care?” presentations.

Each presentations will be provided through Microsoft Webcasts in the “Live From Redmond” series and will be recorded for download after processing.
