For those of you who aren’t member of the Belgian Silverlight User Group there’s a upcoming workshop on September 10th 2009.

In this workshop, we will build a small Silverlight 3.0 application showing some of the new concepts like out of browser, animation easing, deeplinking, pixel effects, importing Photoshop files and perspective 3D.  Some experience with Silverlight 2.0 is required for this workshop.

The workshop is organized with the cooperation of Boulevart

Be quick because there only a few places left.
