Many users wonder how to go about creating web mapping applications. Powerful web mapping applications! Well now you will be able to tune into an ESRI Live Training Seminar and get started using the ArcGIS API for Microsoft Silverlight/WPF.

Public demand is increasing for Web maps that can tell interesting stories and communicate important information quickly. ESRI will host a live training seminar this month that will teach Web application developers the fundamentals of designing fast, rich, and interactive mapping applications using the ArcGIS API for Microsoft Silverlight/WPF.

As part of a press release which is about to go out details of this seminar is as follows:

Getting Started with the ArcGIS API for Microsoft Silverlight/WPF will air at www.esri.com/lts on Thursday, August 27, 2009, at 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 3:00 p.m. (Pacific daylight time).

A number of key areas will be covered off in this seminar.

Developers can use the ArcGIS API for Microsoft Silverlight/WPF to integrate ArcGIS Server, ArcGIS Online, and Bing Maps for enterprise services and capabilities in a Silverlight application. The presenters will demonstrate how to create powerful and expressive geographic information system (GIS) Web applications on top of ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Online services. Developers will see how they can create cross-browser and cross-platform interactive GIS Web applications using the API. Powerful and free, the API provides the ability to use any .NET Framework-supported language, such as C# and Visual Basic, to add GIS capabilities to their Web or desktop applications.

Attendees will learn

• How to create an interactive Web application using the API in Microsoft Visual Studio
• How to consume online maps and task services in Silverlight applications
• What features and functionality they can use in the API

This is going to be a great seminar for those wanting to get started with not only creating powerful web mapping applications but also having a look and learning some of what the ArcGIS API for Microsoft Silverlight/WPF has to offer. Bookmark the date!
