Microsoft Expression Blend Unleashed is about learning a new tool for
designers, but also learning a new mindset for developers. Expression
Blend enables the delivery of rich interactive applications, for the web
as well as the desktop, allowing you to take graphical assets and blend
them with functional .NET code through the power of XAML and the WPF
platform. Microsoft Expression Blend Unleashed also features a C#
Primer, introducing designers to the .NET Framework. .NET allows the
reader to extend the functionality of many of the WPF elements used in
Expression Blend. The most important concept for the reader to grasp is
that Blend and Visual Studio together are about facilitating the kind of
user experience everyone wants from the applications they use. This book
will give you the skill set whether you are a designer or developer;
from there, you just need to use a little imagination.
