This training event was just awesome! I really liked it and learnt a lot from it. HTML DOM Bridge was my fav. bit because I already have all my websites in .Net using MS Ajax and jQuery. With the bridge, I can use my existing Ajax / jQuery / javascript library during the transition from Ajax to Silverlight. Also, I believe most of the web projects will be Hybrid Ajax / Silverlight websites rather than a monolithic silverlight app. HTML DOM Bridge was the "bridge" I was looking for :) At our organization, we were about to go with Adobe CS4. But thanks to this training, I managed to convince the management to get Expression Studio and stick to .Net for our RIA projects :) Hurray! I am glad I was one of the lucky few (around 40) out of 250+. Definitely we need more such sessions (and now advanced level as well). This will help convert Adobe Designers and Action Script Developers to .Net and also retain existing .Net talent. Because of a training session like this, even if just 2-3 people (or their organization) embrace Silverlight, then I guess Microsoft will more than just recover the cost of the training session. So, I hope Microsoft will sponsor more of these training events (Shane! are you listening? :) ) Although MS Ajax 4.0 with client side data components looks very promising (whenever it is released), we seriously want to develop our line of business applications in Silverlight. Looking forward to attending a "LOB Apps with Silverlight" training session if Shane can get MS to sponsor the event :) (even if partially). Kudos to Jordan, Shane, Mahesh and Phil. Cheers Soni Guys!

A lot of people attending the event actually don't realise the amount of work needed to get an event like this organised. I certainly do and although Phil and I helped, you did the bulk of the work. We certainly appreciate the time and effort you've put into it to make it a big success :) Enjoy your trip to Vegas. I am jealous :) Wish I had managed to convince Management to send me to Mix...
