The team will run through hands-on demonstrations, showing you some of the features within Visual Studio and Expression Blend you can use to deliver great-looking fully-functional applications.
And of course, this being Microsoft, we have loads of prizes to give away.
There are five sessions that you can attend, so book in the time that suits you. Each session is 3.5 hours long and runs from 5-8.30pm everyday from 19th – 23rd March. Read below to find out what topics each session covers and then book in the slot that you favour the most.
