The 'All about XAML' user group will have their second meeting on March 22nd, 2011 (6PM), at Logan's on HWY 280. This group is very young and the first meetings are mainly to introduce the members. Their aim is to discuss all things that have to do with xaml. This includes Silverlight, WPF, Windows Phone 7, Surface, Lightswitch and Silverlight with SharePoint 2010.
