Welcome!
This group is based in Fresno and surrounding
areas. The purpose of the group is to be a
resource for developers, designers, architects, and managers with a
specific interest in Microsoft .NET Technologies. Presentations will be
given by world-class speakers from Microsoft, from leader software
companies, and also, by the group's own members.
We meet every second Thursday of every month (exceptionally on the 3rd Thursday
of February), at the California State
University, Fresno (Business Center, room 192). On
non-sponsored meetings attendees are asked to contribute with $5 to cover pizza
and drinks. If you plan to attend

Gustavo Cavalcanti (tinyfit.com) |
WPF the right way
|
|
There is no such thing as "the right
way" of building a quality application, but there are lots of things you can do
in your Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) projects, right from the beginning, that can make your refactoring
cycles much quicker and save you future headaches. In this session we're going to talk about resources, dependency properties, structuring your application, how to "skin" a WPF application, using styles and data templates, external third-party tools, application deployment, prototyping with SketchFlow and more. This is a low-fluff/hands-on presentation full of scattered nuggets of information and demos. |
