Speaking in Chicago about Expression Blend for Developers – May 6

In conjunction with my trip to Chicago for the Expression Blend Workshop .toolbox event, I have the honor of presenting at the Chicago Silverlight User Group meeting.

On May 6th at 6:30pm, we will meet at the Illinois Technology Association and discuss the virtues and value of Expression Blend for Developers.

Surprise! Its not just a tool for designers, rather its a tool for design tasks, which developers can often find themselves doing.

We’ll talk about when it makes sense to switch between Blend and Visual Studio, time-saving and headache-preventing features in Blend and  how to keep your solution “Blendable” for more Blend-focused people on your team.

Register your spot today for the Chicago Silverlight User Group meeting.

What’s the yellow bus for? It’s a mildly clever shot from my last visit to Chicago in 2007.  I don’t remember if anyone got it back then, but I titled the shot “Chicago’s version of Top Banana”.  Which was kind of funny because back then the “Top Banana” video editor was all the rage as far as Silverlight demos went.

It was back in the day of Silverlight 1 and “Top Banana” was amazing.  We’ve come a long way since then.
