The new book, Silverlight + CRM is a great resource for CRM developers who need to get up to speed on Silverlight and how to make it work well with Dynamics CRM 2011. This is a need I have seen over and over again. This comes up with clients, friends, user groups. We hope to fill a gap and get other professionals up to speed and making some great software. This book covers where others have not yet. Go to Amazon and search for Silverlight CRM and the results are few!
We’ve got code samples/library and you’ve got direct access to the author/editor/publisher like you wouldn’t have from one of the big guys.
The book retails for $69.99 print and $29.99 for electronic. Head over and use these discount codes directly on our site.

CONFERENCE: CRMUG Summit – Nov 7 – Nov 11th, 2011, Caesars Palace, Las Vegas
CRMUG Summit is designed with one thing in mind: to connect you, the Dynamics CRM User, with the right resources to address your specific CRM challenges, issues and priorities. We create ample networking opportunities, both formal and informal, to make it easy for you to connect with other Users, partners, or Microsoft staff members who have the experiences and answers you need. Those opportunities include structured networking sessions, Microsoft Town Hall meetings, exclusive expo times, interactive discussions, Microsoft Conduits, role/industry/location-based roundtables, Ask the Experts sessions, meetings-on-the-fly, networking receptions and more. And, of course, there will be plenty of opportunities to keep the conversations and the fun going even after the day’s planned agenda is complete (after all, we will be in Vegas)!
