I’ve been trying to find a good advanced Silverlight 4 course, but can’t really find anything. I’ve found this:
http://www.develop.com/training-course/silverlight-4
But the most interesting topics are only talked about in the course material, not in the actual course. The extra topics from this course which is of particular interest, are:
Working with Files: local files, Isolated Storage, data files, zip files.
Extensibility: working with MEF to build extensible applications
PRISM: using PRISM (Composite Application Guidance) to structure Silverlight applications
Also: Test driven development with Silverlight would be good to learn better.
Does anyone know anyone who gives good courses which include these topics? I’m not a total Silverlight newbie, but not an expert either. Preferably the course will be held in Europe or Eastern USA.

Agilitrain offers an advanced course. Check out https://agilitrain.com/. This is the company that offers the “Silverlight Tour” courses. I haven’t been to any of their offerings, but the instructors are well known in the Silverlight arena. (Shawn Wildermuth and Erik Mork are two of them.)
Take a look at the web site. They display full course outlines and bios of the instructors.
The prices (as with any course) are hefty for an independent programmer/consultant, but if you have a corporation footing the bill, the prices seem a bit more competitive.
