In this session, you’ll build a domain model consistent with sample data. You’ll also add notification interfaces that enable consumers to subscribe to changes in the domain model. Finally, you’ll bind the user experience to the domain model.

Attendee Comments
“This session was a bit too rushed. I found it difficult to see the advantage of VS over Blend here. It seemed we did a lot of work to generate the same results we could have by alternative, and more intuitive methodologies.”
Nikitah Imani, Reapalife
“Quite informative! Thank you”
Norman Kara, NYPD

“Too rushed. Should have been a longer session. The final steps were too fast, and yet, very important. Great info though. This is a good thread to pursue. Live is better though. I miss not being able to stand around afterwards and dig at more advanced subjects or get into the WHY's a bit more.”
Jared Youtsey, Configuresoft, Inc.
“Things happened a little too fast.”
