Tentative Schedule

	Topic	Speaker
September 2010	Intro To RIA Services: In this session we will explore RIA Services and hopw they can make your life much easier. Additionally we will feature a short intro to Data options with Silverlight.	Roy Lawson
October 2010	An Evening of Silverlight with Windows Phone 7: We're not entirely sure, but we're hoping that by October we should be able to do a full night of Windows Phone 7 (from idea to release on the Marketplace).	Various People (but probably Jay, Bill, Kevin, and Nikita)
TBA	Intro To MVVM: A night of how to use the MVVM (ViewModel) pattern to build "Blendable"/Testable applications.	TBD
TBA	Intro To Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF): With MEF you can build composable applications that magically satisfy dependencies; MEF with Silverlight takes advantage of Silverlight's ability to download additional XAP files and automagically starts using the additional functionality as soon as the download is complete. Come to this session to see how this is done..	TBD
