This year I will be heading to MIX in Vegas along with thousands of other UX enthusiasts. I have always had a deep interest in all things related to User Experience, and for the past couple years have wished I could attend a MIX event, and finally this year I get to go!

What will I be doing at MIX? Well I will certainly be soaking up any and all information related to Silverlight and WPF. I will also stick my head into some of the designer-oriented sessions. It's a good thing to see how the other half lives. In between sessions I am hoping to meet all kinds of people who are also passionate about UX. And of course this is Vegas, so I am sure I will lose a few dollars in a casino at some point and drink more booze than is healthy.

Joining me will be a number of Wintellectuals including Steve Porter, Sergio Loscialo, Rik Robinson, Sara Faatz, and Todd Fine. I know of a number of other local Atlanta folks will be making the trip as well: Sean Gerety, Doug Turnure, and Shawn Wildermuth to name a few. Are you going too? If so, let me know and we can get together for a cup of coffee or a beer.

I have uploaded my slides and associated source code that was demonstrated, for the benefit of those who were not able to attend my session, or for those who have asked for copies of the code and slides.

I understand that these will be made available from the Alabama Code Camp web site, but I am also making them available for download from my server as well: http://www.mindfusioncorp.com/weblog/content/binary/AlabamaCC6-Silverlight-KeithRome.zip

I am packing my bags and heading out to Huntsville AL tonight. In the morning I will be kicking off the Silverlight Track at the Alabama Code Camp with a presentation titled "Tapping into the power of Silverlight 1.0". My goal with this presentation is to show that although 2.0 will indeed be a phenomenal release of the Silverlight platform, the currently shipping version is still very powerful and offers a tremendous amount of value.

If you are planning on attending this Code Camp event, please stop by and listen in!
