On Friday, September 28th and Saturday, September 29th, Clarity Consulting will host a Silverlight DevCamp at their offices in the Loop. This is a great opportunity for people interested in Silverlight to come together and hack out an application or two.

DevCamps are similar to BarCamps in that it’s a casual gathering of likeminded individuals. BarCamps tend to have many different conversations, covering several different topics. DevCamps, however, focus on a particular technology with the idea of producing one to many applications by the end of camp.

This particular DevCamp invites designers and developers to come together and see what they can do in 2-days. We kick-off the camp on Friday with a few discussions on Silverlight as well as some brain storming of what applications we want to build. That leaves Saturday for a full on hack-day where designers and developers will team up to build the applications of their choice. Saturday will culminate with Demo Happy Hour where each team will be given 5-minutes to demo their particular application. And… to make things just a bit more interesting, we will be awarding some unbelievable prizes for the top teams.

If you’re interested in attending, be sure to head on over to the signup sheet and add your name.

It just so happens that this camp butts up against Adobe Max 2007. If you’re attending Max and happen to be in Chicago over the weekend, head on over to the camp. I’d love a team to gather and work on an application that has Silverlight and Flash playing together. It is possible you know. Adam shows us how.

Also, if you interested in Silverlight DevCamp and you’re in the Bay area, Silverlight DevCamp San Francisco takes place on Sept. 14th and 15th.

I hope many of you can attend. I look forward to seeing you there.
