Houston, Texas – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – November 1, 2008. EPS Software Corp., publisher of CoDe Magazine, VFPConversion.com, and host of the State of .NET events, announced the Houston-area’s Designers & Developers Special Interest Group (D2SIG) to be held the first Tuesday of each month at Microsoft’s Houston offices.

This special interest group (SIG) is a community effort initiated by EPS but open to all interested participants. Each month, a different presenter from various organizations will present to interested attendees. The group is dedicated to exploring modern user experiences (UX) which are part computer programming and part artistic design. While traditionally there has been little overlap in the two disciplines, users now expect a good experience with a professional look. Covered topics will range from development in Silverlight, WPF and related technologies such as Microsoft Surface to design of rich interactive experience for graphical designers. The group strives to provide a good balance of content that appeals to both developers and designers.

The inaugural meeting (to be held on Nov. 6th, 2008) introduces the SIG and the covered topics and technologies in general, before proceeding into this month’s presentation delivered by Markus Egger. Markus’ presentation will include the following topics:

Introduction to Silverlight ans WPF (Windows)

Creating a Silverlight Application

Silverlight and WPF news from PDC!

A first look at Microsoft Surface

RSVP Requested

Attendance of the SIG meetings is free. To allow us to plan the meetings better and to judge interest ahead of time, we ask people to RSVP here. (This is a temporary site and will be replaced in the future with www.d2sig.org.)
