Mix10 @ Las Vegas (March 15 – 17)

Registration is up, and I have my fingers crossed that my company will be able to send me this year.  Here’s the sessions that look interesting to me:

• Silverlight 4 Bootcamp (John Papa) – This might not be the best use of my time as I feel like I’ve already learned the basics of SL development, but I would like to be able to see John go soup-to-nuts with the full SL stack.
• Prototyping rich silverlight 4 applications with sketchflow
• Using Microsoft Silverlight 4 to Create Dynamic SharePoint 2010 User Experiences (Paul Stubbs) - not sure SL in SP is useful to me, but I'd like to see this
• Touch In Public: Multi-touch Interaction Design for Kiosks and Architectural Experiences (Jason Brush) - This might have longer term relevance to the day-job
• The Laws of User Experience (Anthony Franco) - Developing some design-chops is one of my personal goals for this year
• Dynamic Layout and Transitions for Microsoft Silverlight 4 with Microsoft Expression Blend - I definitely need to fully learn Blend and let it wash over me.  I can't seem to keep my mouth out of the angle brackets when developing in SL/WPF
• Design Fundamentals for Developers (Robby Ingebretsen)
• Cloud Computing Economies of Scale (James Hamilton) - This looks very interesting
• Building Cloud Services with Azure (Ryan Dunn) - If memory serves, Ryan works (or worked?) for Avanade at one point.  I doubt he'd remember me...
• Authoring for Microsoft Silverlight 4 with Microsoft Expression Blend
• ASP.NET MVC Boot Camp (Jon Galloway) - Not very relevant to my day-job, but I like Jon and enjoy MVC at home :)
• Running with Wireframes:  Taking Information Architecture (IA) into Design (Matt Brown) – Sounds kind of interesting
