>>At this point I know a lot more about WinForms than WPF or Silverlight. It's more comfortable for me, more like what I was already familiar with. But yes, that transition is definitely coming. Learning WPF is on my to-do list. I am going to look into that two day thing when it hits Chicago and attend it if my schedule allows. It sounds like a good jump start.

>>UPDATE: I just registered for both days, getting a pleasant surprise in the process. I figured the event was downtown. In fact it's in Arlington Heights, near the racetrack, which is a 30-45 minute drive from here. Cool. Now I can get myself up to speed with WPF by the time it gets replaced by something else <g>.

There was one lecture on WPF in the .NET course I took at DePaul this winter. (Wound up with a 98.8 grade average -- bowing deeply <g>). No question it's a very different way of doing things.
