What it's about

You may have already heard about Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Silverlight from Microsoft.  But you probably do not fully understand the potential and implications of these new technologies.  Simply put, they make possible a quantum leap in how your users will experience and interact with the business applications in your organization.

For new and casual users, this will mean a much lower barrier to initial use and productivity.  For experienced power-users, it offers the potential for an even more significant increase in productivity.  And for your IT team, it is going to improve developer productivity by merging and simplifying the programming models for web vs client-server user interfaces.  But the path to gaining these benefits is not an easy one.  This session will explain why and show you how to get there.

In this informative 2 hour seminar, you will hear directly from two of North America’s best-known and most widely respected Microsoft Regional Directors: Billy Hollis from Nashville, and Barry Gervin from Toronto. They will:

• show you why WPF and Silverlight are going to change your user’s expectations
• demonstrate business applications that have been written in WPF and Silverlight and deliver a new level of user experience
• explain how these technologies fit with the other Microsoft products you are already using
• suggest a road map to help you decide when and how to introduce WPF and Silverlight into your organization
