It's fast approaching the time for another meeting of the Silverlight UK User Group. The third session planned for Wednesday, 1st October 2008! The event starts at 18:30 and will be hosted by Conchango at the Notcutt House (nr Southwark Bridge).
The event might be a bit shorter than usual, probably testament to the fact that the Microsoft team are incredibly busy finishing off the Silverlight build as well as those waiting/upgrading in anticipation to get our hands on it!
