Upcoming sessions: come and see us @ DevDays & PHP Conference in The Netherlands

Quick “plug” 😉 

In the upcoming weeks, Maarten Balliauw (one of my collegues, an expert in ASP .NET MVC & PHP) and I will be giving a few sessions together in The Netherlands: on Friday the 29th of May, we’ll be speaking @ Microsoft’s DevDays in Den Haag, and on Friday the 12th, we’ll be speaking @ the Dutch PHP Conference in Amsterdam.  The session we’re delivering is called “PHP & Silverlight”.

What can you expect?  Well, we’ll have a look at how to integrate PHP & Silverlight, and at the SL programming model in general.  I’m delivering the Silverlight-part, my collegue Maarten is delivering the PHP-part of the session.  It’s not an in-depth level 400 session, but it’s meant to give you an idea of how you can use PHP & Silverlight together (creating a SL-project in Eclipse, hosting SL on a PHP-page, using a PHP-webservice from SL), and at the same time give an intro on what Silverlight can do, focussing on the – in my opinion – 4 keywords everyone should know & understand when developing Silverlight: DataContext, DataBinding, INotifyPropertyChanged and IValueConverter. 

So, if you happen to be in the neighbourhood, come check us out and/or join us at the bar for a drink after the session! 😉

PS, if you’re coming to the Amsterdam session, make sure you take a few extra days to stroll around the city – it’s not Barcelona, but it’s a really nice and relaxing city with a few great places to visit; one of my favourite cities in Europe, actually.
