Sketchflow -- Wednesday, March 24

Chad Surprenant of Slalom will present on Sketchflow and the Process of Silverlight Development on March 24. We will meet at 5 Seasons Brewing at the Prado. 6:30 PM.

We will also provide a recap of the announcements at MIX10, for those who weren't able to make it, and try to answer any of your questions about Silverlight 4, Windows Phone development, etc.

Sketchflow is one of the gems hidden away in Blend, allowing developers to prototype and then annotate the design of an application in a collaborative manner.

While anyone can build a Silverlight application, doing so within a process is still something we as an industry are trying to work out. Chad will be using Sketchflow as a springboard for discussing usability, process, and design in Silverlight development.
