• Update of the WPF-book to .NET 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010
  The WPF-book was written about .NET 3.5. Next year .NET 4.0 will be released. There are many new things introduced in WPF. The DataGrid- and DatePicker-Control, VisualStateManager, Animation Easing Functions, Layout Rounding and so on. I’m working on an update of the book that will be released next year shortly after the German Visual Studio Release.

  Currently I’m working hard on my book about Silverlight 4. I’ve already written about 300 pages. The book will be released next year shortly after the Silverlight 4 release. There are no comments on the Silverlight 4 release, but at PDC in mid-November there’s a session about the Silverlight-Roadmap. Then we’ll know more. So stay tuned.

What’s going on next:

Free MSUGS-Event about developing Custom Controls with the chance to win a WPF-book:
On Wednesday, 20th August, you can visit a free event in cooperation with the Microsoft User Group Switzerland (MSUGS) about developing Custom Controls with WPF. The event will be in Zurich @Trivadis (Europastrasse 5). You find more details about the event here. At the end of this event, you can win one WPF-Book for free.

WPF-Course @Trivadis:
If you want to know more things about WPF-Programming, take a look at the 3-day WPF-course at Trivadis, which you find here. If you take this course, you’ll get a WPF-book, the Trivadis course-material, and everything you need to become a rich & famous WPF-Programmer.

DataAccess in the time of LINQ:
Christoph Pletz and I are working on a TechnoCircle - a one day event you can visit in the second half of this year @Trivadis - about DataAccess in the time of LINQ. This TechnoCircle does not only show you how LINQ works, it shows how to implement a Data Access Layer in the time of LINQ in a Three-Layer-Architecture. It also discusses the usage of LINQ to SQL vs. Entity Framework vs. DataSets etc. As soon as you can register for the TechnoCircle, you’ll find more infos on the Trivadis-website and of course here on my blog…
