title: The best use of time at Visual Studio Launch 2010
body: <p>Yes, this is a programming-related question, if a little indirectly.</p>
  
  <p>For better or worse, I am switching from Winforms to WPF in April.  I am also going to be in attendance at the Visual Studio <a href="http://www.devconnections.com/shows/SP2010VS/default.asp?s=144" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Launch</a> in Las Vegas.</p>
  
  <p>I have a real need to get up to speed quickly in WPF, so my question is: <br> <strong>What <a href="http://www.devconnections.com/shows/SP2010VS/default.asp?c=1&amp;s=144" rel="nofollow noreferrer">sessions</a> are going to be the best use of my time?</strong>  </p>
  
  <p>I've got some picked out already, but I'm looking for some more advice on how to wade through all the marketing fluff and get some real educational value out of these few days.  I have not been to one of these events before, so I don't really know how much is marketing hype, and how much is solid content.</p>
  
  <p>A couple of the <a href="http://www.devconnections.com/shows/SP2010VS/default.asp?c=3&amp;s=144" rel="nofollow noreferrer">workshops</a> look interesting (VPR02 and VPS02), but I don't know enough about the actual content of these to justify the extra expense right now.  Any thoughts there would be appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>And yes, I do have WPF learning planned other than just these few days in Vegas, but since I'm going to be there anyway, I want to learn as much as I can in the time available.</p>
