The tour has grown up quite a bit since then, and we’re now starting to cover Silverlight 3 and Blend 3. Even better, we’re taking the tour online so you don’t have to leave the office to attend or get a refresher.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;So what is XAMLfest?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Are you excited about WPF but concerned about the learning curve?&amp;#160; Have you seen Silverlight but don’t know where to get started?&amp;#160; Or are you curious about how tools like Expression Blend help designers and developers deliver great user experiences together? If so, join us at XAMLfest! &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;XAMLfest Online&lt;/i&gt; is a five day event delivered through a combination of live sessions and recorded training. The recorded training can be viewed at any time, but each segment should be watched before you participate in a related live session. The table below should help illustrate how each session relates to another: &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.xamlfestonline.com"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="xamlfestonline.com" border="0" alt="xamlfestonline.com" src="http://blogs.msdn.com/blogfiles/jbienz/WindowsLiveWriter/XAMLfestGoingOnline_DDC0/image_3.png" width="531" height="297" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Sessions are geared to both designer and developer audiences and attendees can participate in both tracks. Live sessions start 6/1 and recorded content is available starting 5/25. For more information and to register, please visit &lt;a href="http://www.xamlfestonline.com/"&gt;xamlfestonline.com&lt;/a&gt;. These sessions are open to the public as well, so feel free to pass this invitation on.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Please note:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt; Participants must currently register for each session individually. We realize this is not convenient for those that plan to attend every session and we're working with msdev.com on a better solution. Thank you for taking the time to register.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9608124" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/jbienz/archive/tags/WPF/default.aspx">WPF</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/jbienz/archive/tags/Fun/default.aspx">Fun</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/jbienz/archive/tags/Silverlight/default.aspx">Silverlight</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/jbienz/archive/tags/Smart+Client/default.aspx">Smart Client</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/jbienz/archive/tags/Design/default.aspx">Design</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/jbienz/archive/tags/Blend/default.aspx">Blend</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/jbienz/archive/tags/Expression/default.aspx">Expression</category></item></channel></rss>
