I’ll be doing a user group triple play this month starting on Tuesday, Dec. 14 at the Northern New Jersey .NET User Group.  On Wednesday, the 15th, I’ll be at the Philly .NET User Group, and on Thursday the 16th, I’ll be visiting the New York City .NET User Group.

The topic will be the same across all three groups, though the name seems to be different in each one.  I guess the common title would be, “Programming With MVVM”.  Here’s the session description:

WPF overwhelmed us with the most powerful data binding ever released in a development platform. It seemed there was so much to learn in order to use it, but it really isn't that complicated. However, to use it to its full potential, you really do need to introduce the Model-View-ViewModel pattern. The ideas and goal around this pattern seem to vary from person to person, but the one thing that they all share is that it provides a point of binding for XAML pages. In this session, I'll show you what MVVM is and how to use it and what to put in it, in order to get maximum potential out of XAML binding. I'll even show you how to get a small MVVM Framework going for sharing across all your applications.
