A Summer of WPF and Silverlight Training

It's also a great time for some new skills development and training, and as there's a smorgasbord of WPF and Silverlight-related courses taking place over the next few months, I thought I'd take the opportunity to highlight a round-up of the choices available to you, presented in the form of an events calendar:
