Sketchflow — Wednesday, March 24

Chad Surprenant of Slalom will present on Sketchflow and the Process of Silverlight Development on March 24. We will meet at 5 Seasons Brewing at the Prado. 6:30 PM.

Sketchflow is one of the gems hidden away in Blend, allowing developers to prototype and then annotate the design of an application in a collaborative manner.

While anyone can build a Silverlight application, doing so within a process is still something we as an industry are trying to work out. Chad will be using Sketchflow as a springboard for discussing usability, process, and design in Silverlight development.

Chad Surprenant is a User Experience Evangelist and Senior User Experience Architect for Slalom Consulting, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner that focuses on business and technology consulting with local expertise and national reach. He has been a usability advocate and consultant since 1997, and has experience in a wide range of vertical industries, technologies, and platforms, but has been focused on the .NET platform since 2007. He has a passion and strong advocacy for usability and intuitive design, and continues to champion the user experience. When not redesigning better solutions for bad usability, Chad likes to work on his graphic novel and spends time playing video games on the Xbox 360.
