In contrast to most of the other classes I’ve done on DX products so far, this is more than an introductory event. Of course, as you know if you’ve at …

I have just opened registrations for a new training class in January 2011: Business Apps with DXperience Silverlight. You can find all the details here [LINK REMOVED], with the exception of the location unfortunately — I’m working on that! I have ideas, but if you have certain preferences for the location, be sure to let me know! Signing up is possible [LINK REMOVED] right now, and if you do so before November 30 2010, you can take advantage of an early bird discount.

Here’s the summary text …

Yesterday, the Software&Support Group announced a new event that I helped set up for December 2010. It’s a three-day training camp on all things C#. Christian Nagel, Rainer Stropek and myself will try to tell you all we know about the language, as well as lots of best practices surrounding its use. The event will take place December 8-10 2010 in Munich, Germany, in the NH Hotel Neue Messe. There are early-bird prices available until November 5, …

Good news: the locations for both the DXperience Silverlight [LINK REMOVED] and the DXperience ASP.NET [LINK REMOVED] training classes that I have announced for later this year are now fixed.

Hotel Zuiderduin is a plac …

I’m thinking of a class for Silverlight components, later this year. It would probably be a two or three day class, covering the process of creating a Silverlight application with the help of the DevExpress components on that platform.

Right now I’m trying to gauge interest in the topic. If you think you might be interested in such a class sometime between October and December 2010, please let me know! I’m also interested in finding out what locations in the world would be most useful to you, …

Here’s a quick note, final notification so to speak: if you want to come to my June trainings for DXperience WinForms or the eXpressApp Framework [LINKS REMOVED], you have until tomorrow (April 30, 2010) to sign up if you want the early bird pricing. Save up to 200 Euros!

I found a forum post today about binding an XPO datasource to the DevExpress DXGrid control. I had posted about this on my DX blog before, but that is more than a year ago — things are moving along quickly, and this post is very likely going to be outdated again with 2010.1… but that’s life, isn’t it :-)

So, I thought I should have another look and see what changed and what might be easier. So I started recreating the steps I went …

Exciting news: About ten days ago, I left my job at DevExpress, in order to start providing training and consulting services. And guess what — my main focus is… DevExpress! So this is new. If you are interested, have a look at my new site: www.oliversturm.com [LINK REMOVED].

For my consulting business, I am now also associated with Thinktecture, a really great company in Germany. Wow. It feels like there’s so much to say, but I’m done already. :-)
