If you haven't had a chance to join me for the Silverlight Tour yet, next week is your chance! I will be in Atlanta for the next Silverlight Tour stop.
The Silverlight Tour is a three-day, soup-to-nuts breakdown of Silverlight 4. This includes learning the ins and outs of XAML, hosting in the browser, the tools and using Silverlight on the server. The class utilizes the Silverlight 4 as well as the latest toolset from Microsoft (including Visual Studio 2010 and Expression Blend 4).
The Silverlight Tour Workshop also includes a complimentary license to Telerik's RadControls for Silverlight for every attendee* (a $999.00 value). For more information on RadControls, you can visit there site at http://telerik.com.

The Silverlight Tour and AgiliTrain would like to welcome our newest instructor: Russell Fustino. Russ brings a great pedagree as a former Microsoft Evangelist and co-host of the Russ's Toolshed Channel 9 Show. We're excited to have him teaching for the Silverlight Tour!
From his bio:
Russ Fustino wisely shelved dreams of rock and roll stardom in order to share his vast knowledge with developers nationwide. Given that he can’t sing or play an instrument, other than in Guitar Hero, we’re all very grateful. Russ has more than 30 years of software development. He’s the creator of the Russ' Tool Shed developer seminar series and has donned his trademark suspenders, hardhat and tool belt in presentations for over 120,000 developers at over 2000 live events and over 400,000 views of his online videos. Russ also has expertise in developing .NET and Web-based solutions using Microsoft tools as well as Internet Audio and Video producing. Russ is now independent and President and founder of Russ' ToolShed Network, Inc and Mentor at Solid Quality Mentors. Previously, Russ worked for Microsoft for 12 years as a Developer Evangelist. Also, previous to that, Russ worked as a VB instructor, headed up a development department, and created several client/server applications and system software products. His specialties include development with VB.NET, C# , ASP.NET, Expression Studio and Silverlight, Development Tools and debugging. Russ' Tool Shed Videos can be seen at: http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/toolshed. You have to know the code to get in the shed. KNOW THE CODE! Site: www.russtoolshed.net
Russ will be teaching our Silverlight Tour curriculum as well as our Windows Phone 7 Courses.

Now that the big news of the Silverlight 4 Beta release is out, we can announce that we've been working hard to update our course to include Silverlight 4 material. Since Silverlight 4 is only in Beta (and no go-live license to boot), the Silverlight Tour will continue to teach Silverlight 3 and show the Silverlight 4 material in addition. This way whether you're building a short-term application you can get your Silverlight 3 needs met, but if you want to learn Silverlight for a long-term project, you can be sure that the Silverlight Tour will prepare you for the Silverlight of tomorrow.
While the labs will continue to be in Silverlight 3, the instructor will be using Visual Studio 2010 and Silverlight 4 to explain how the new features work and how they may impact how you architect you Silverlight solution.
The new Silverlight 4 content will be included in our next tour stops shown below:
