Expression Blend Workshop for WPF/Silverlight Developers

QuantumBlack is hosting a 2-day training workshop on Expression Blend for WPF/Silverlight Developers on February 23-24, 2011.

Drawing on our extensive experience building highly visual, rich, user-centric application with Silverlight, WPF, and Surface technologies, we are in a unique position to offer training in the practical and real-world use of Expression Blend.
This 2 day hands-on course is perfect for experienced designers and developers working with WPF or Silverlight who are not currently using Expression Blend. Or people with some Blend experience who feel they are not getting as much value as they could out of the tool.
Over the 2 days, participants will learn how to use Expression Blend to:

• Create and configure panels and controls;
• Create, manage, and apply resources, styles, and templates;
• Use databinding in the design and development process;
• Use animations, effects, and behaviours to bring applications to life;
• Use SketchFlow to rapidly create interactive application prototypes to share with users;
• Integrate Expression Blend into the overall design and development process.

Taught by experts in WPF, Silverlight, Surface, and Expression Blend, the course is totally hands-on and interactive, ensuring attendees spend more time doing and less time listening. Pre-defined exercises and labs provide the structure through which to explore and learn Expression Blend, along with the option of attacking specific areas or problems of interest to the attendees.
Along the way, attendees will learn many tips and tools for working with Blend, when and when not to use it, and will learn about the User Experience (UX) process and the different ways developers and designers can work together.
