In the beginning of March (1 – 5 March), Sparkles is organizing a 5-day training on WPF Applications in Antwerp, Belgium. The course will be given by Brian Noyes, Chief Architect at iDesign.  

The target audience is any .NET developer or architect responsible for building smart client applications with WPF. Some exposure to the basics of WPF concepts is helpful. WCF familiarity is a plus.

The class uses a combination of frontal presentations, code demonstrations, and hands-on lab exercises to reinforce all of the concepts presented. The demos provide a code library to refer back to when building your own applications, and the labs help cement the key learning elements of the class using step-by-step procedures to accomplish the tasks covered
