Thinking Outside the Battleship Gray Box – Wednesday, February 24

Roger Peters will be presenting at our February Meetup. We will meet at 5 Seasons Brewing at the Prado. 6:30 PM.

Here is Roger’s synopsis:

As developers, we’ve grown accustomed to the confines of the technology platforms available to us. With new platforms like WPF and Silverlight, developers must change their perceived limitations and learn how to think outside the box to create engaging experiences. How can we use new presentation layer technologies to create more engaging applications and break away from the traditional battleship gray windows application?

Drawing on Roger’s recent experience leveraging Silverlight technology, this presentation provides insights on how developers can learn to think beyond their perceived limitations, and shows real world implementations of some of the concepts discussed.

The 2010 MIX Conference is right around the corner and several of our Silverlight-Atlanta members have submitted workshop and session topics to present this year. Please help support our community by voting for our Atlanta members. Here are a few of the session topics below:
