LINQ in Action in Spanish  [click for more...]

Today I had the pleasure to receive a copy of LINQ in Action translated in Spanish. This came a bit unexpected, but it's great!

LINQ in Action already existed in German (LINQ im Einsatz), and I know that other translations should be published soon. The Chinese version is the next one expected, I believe.

The Spanish version of the book is published by Anaya Multimedia. The title of the book is simply... "LINQ"!

¡Espero que disfruten la lectura de este libro!

Next month I will attend with my colleague Robert the “WPF FOR LOB” training Tour in London (5/15 -5/16). Our flights and hotel rooms are already booked. We fly from Zurich to London Heathrow on Thursday 14 Mai arriving at 20:15 in London and I fly back to Mulhouse on Saturday evening.

This two day training is designed to teach developers how to create Line of Business (LOB) applications using Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). 

  • Day One is an introduction to the WPF graphics subsystem, the tools used to build WPF applications, and the core UI services: styling, data binding, templating, layout and input-
  • The second day begins with interop (Windows Forms and Win32)  and then quickly dives into LOB topics, including building applications using the Model-View-ViewModel pattern, creating unit testable applications,  implementing data validation, and error handling. 

After completion, attendees will have a solid understanding of WPF, its advantages over other Microsoft UI platforms, and how to use the M-V-VM pattern to create great WPF LOB applications.
