			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you haven’t noticed by now, I have been somewhat quiet in the community lately, but there are a few good reasons for that.&#160; The first reason is that I have been working on my <a href="http://wpftoolkit.codeplex.com/" target="_blank">Extended WPF Toolkit</a> project on CodePlex.&#160; I also recently had a new baby girl, born just 4 months ago and haven’t been getting the necessary geek time I normally have. Babies seem to take up any free time you have and all the time you didn’t have.&#160; </p>
<p>I am also excited to announce that I am now a technical contributor for <a href="http://www.pluralsight.com" target="_blank">PluralSight</a>. You can check out my lame bio pic and corresponding verbage <a href="http://www.pluralsight-training.net/microsoft/about/instructor.aspx?name=brian-lagunas" target="_blank">here</a>.&#160; Now, any speckle of free time I have goes into recording content for the <a href="http://www.pluralsight-training.net/microsoft/olt/courses.aspx" target="_blank">On-Demand</a> library.&#160; I have recently published two modules; one covering the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) design pattern, and the other on the Decorator design pattern, both of which can be found in the <a href="http://www.pluralsight-training.net/microsoft/olt/Course/Toc.aspx?n=patterns-library" target="_blank">Design Patterns Library</a>.</p>
<p>During my interview process with PluralSight I had to create a sample video demonstrating a simple concept.&#160; I chose to cover the WPF Eventing model.&#160; Normally, these recordings are discarded and go to waste, never to been seen by anyone.&#160; I have decided to not trash mine, and share with you my first attempt at recording a PluralSight On-Demand video.</p>
<p>Now remember this was my first attempt, and therefore falls within the “First time I did this so any mistakes are forgiven no matter what” rule.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.brianlagunas.com/downloads/pluralsight/Brian_Lagunas_Sample_Video.zip"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="wpf_events_video" border="0" alt="wpf_events_video" src="http://www.brianlagunas.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/wpf_events_video.jpg" width="504" height="392" /></a></p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Hopefully it didn’t completely suck and maybe you even learned something.&#160; If you would like to test drive PluralSight, sign up for a guest pass. The guest pass is free and allows you to view a few clips from every module in every course in the On-Demand library.&#160; What do you have to loose?&#160; If you have any feedback please feel free to leave it below.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have started a quest that so many developers do; I am attempting to write a short book on the MVVM development pattern.&#160; When I say short, I mean short.&#160; Probably between 50 – 70 pages, most of it being code and examples.&#160; This is my first attempt at a book and I’m not quite sure what developers really want to know about MVVM.&#160; So please, feel free to let me know what you would like to see in a book about MVVM.</p>
