Rob Burke is teaching a WPF training course through Toronto-based consultancy ObjectSharp. The course is called “Windows Presentation Foundation for Developers and Lead Designers,” and, as the title suggests, it offers a hands-on experience designed to give developers and lead designers the knowledge, background, tips and references they’ll need to build smart client applications using the Windows Presentation Foundation.

After enjoying the process of training a team of developers and designers to use WPF, this course is the result of turning that material into a course that we could offer here.

The inaugural course offering is currently scheduled for August 13th-15th. If you’re interested in taking part, please find more information about the course on ObjectSharp’s site. Also, if August 13th is too long for you to wait, or you’re interested in an on-site course, please contact Julie James, ObjectSharp’s Training Manager.

Will
Silverlight Change the World?

There is
no question that Silverlight is one of the hottest technologies out of
Microsoft in quite a while. But as it is with most hyped products, there are
elements of truth and not-so-truth to the marketing story. In this
presentation, we take a closer look at Silverlight. We will talk not only about
what is currently available but also what is expected in the next release. But
most of all, we will look at some of the capabilities and drawbacks of using
Silverlight and the appropriate Expression products. This includes an
evaluation of some of the demo applications, and also the creation of a simple
Silverlight application.

And no,
Silverlight won’t change the world. It’s just a piece of software. Geesh ;)

Well, ObjectSharp
Consulting
, the company I’m working in, is hiring. Directly from Rob Winsor’s
weblog
, this flyer was distributed during DevTeach.


 If you read carefully, a certain someone’s name is in there. The weirdest thing is, I haven’t officially started work at ObjectSharp yet when this poster was distributed. *chuckles* Just a small quirk.

Anyway for those who are interested, send an email to careers@objectsharp.com.
