Microsoft’s putting on a free WPF training event in the Phoenix, AZ area that I thought I’d announce. For those that haven’t already seen it or registered you can get more details here.
Update: The registration screen makes it sound like you have to be a Microsoft partner to attend but that’s not the case (confirmed with Microsoft). It’s free for anyone to attend.
Here’s the agenda:
