More about .NET University
The code camp will also represent the kicking-off event for .NET university. The mission of .NET U is simple, to get you ready for .NET 3.0 (aka WinFx). It consist of four sessions: Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Communication Foundation, Windows Workflow Foundation, and Windows CardSpace. If you are registered for the code camp and want to attend some or all of these sessions, no problem, these sessions are open to all code camp attendees. However, if you want to "graduate" .NET U and claim a certificate and .NET U t-shirt, you should register using the link below and attend all four sessions. To register with .NET U, you should first register for the code camp event (see link above). Not interested in .NET 3.0 yet? No worries, I can assure you we'll have more runs of .NET U in the coming months.

My MSDN Article...

Here's a link to a recent article I did for Microsoft's Smart-Client Developer Center on MSDN. It's a very interesting topic or great sleep material, depending on your viewpoint. One thing is for sure, users are beginning to demand software that is; elegantly-simply with a range of choices on how to accomplish tasks. Enjoy!
