Thank you!
A big thank you to everyone who attended my sessions at the SoCal Code Camp. I had a great time, and I hope that all of you did, too.
As a reminder, for all of my sessions: the slides, code samples, and walkthroughs are available here: http://www.jeremybytes.com/Demos.aspx.
Drop me a note if you had a chance to attend. I'd love to hear what you thought.

Introduction to XAML with WPF
(Editor's note: I will be presenting this topic at the SoCal Code Camp Jan 30 & 31, 2010.)
Overview
Understanding XAML (eXtensible Application Markup Language) is a key to creating the latest .NET user experiences in WPF and Silverlight. We will introduce the basic concepts around XAML and take a look at various features such as namespaces, elements, properties, events, attached properties and some basic layout. We’ll create a simple WPF application that covers these fundamentals. Although you will probably end up doing most of your UI design with a drag-and-drop tool such as Expression Blend, knowing the internals gives you a leg up in making the final tweaks to ensure an excellent user experience.

As mentioned in a previous post, the demos are now available in PDF form here: http://www.jeremybytes.com/Demos.aspx.

Introduction to Data Templates and Value Converters in Silverlight 3
(Editor's note: I will be presenting this topic at the SoCal Code Camp Jan 30 & 31, 2010.)
Overview
Business applications are all about data, and laying out that data is critical to creating a good user experience. Fortunately, Silverlight 3 has several tools, including Data Templates and Value Converters, that make this easier for the business application developer to manage. Today, we'll take a look at consuming a WCF service and creating the layout of the data. By the time we're done, you should have a good understanding of the basics of Data Templates and Value Converters.

More Demos Coming
A New Direction
Okay, so I've posted several demo articles here so far. The unfortunate thing is that the blogging tool I've been using is not the easiest thing to use for these demos. One of the primary shortcomings is the inability to have code samples that can easily be copy/pasted. With this in mind, I've decided to post upcoming demos as PDFs (along with downloadable code samples). I think this should improve usability for me and my readers.
You can get the PDFs and code samples here: http://www.jeremybytes.com/Demos.aspx.
If you miss the HTML walkthroughs and really want to see them again, just post me a message at feedback@jeremybytes.com, and I'll see what I can do for future articles.
