Introduction

My name is Bruce Philp a senior UI Developer at Infusion Development. I consider myself an early adopter of WPF/Silverlight/Surface and Expression Blend. I have had the opportunity to work and still do with some of the best guys in this technology bubble, which include Allen Jones, Sam Noble, Sam Bourton (authors of WPF Recipes in C# 2008: A Problem-Solution Approach), Matt Miller (one of the best UX designers I have ever worked with) and Brennon Williams MVP (author of Microsoft Expression Blend Unleashed) form an initial start-up company called SmithBayes based in London to Infusion Development based in Dubai.

What I am hoping to try and achieve in the beginning from Xpressing XAML, is to focus using Expression Blend:

• Design methodology from wire framing to visual design, which I adopted and modified from Matt Miller.
• Resources management and how you should setup your initial project.
• Solve those complex UI problems that you may come across.
• Looking at WPF, Silverlight and Surface development from Expression Blend.
• Control authoring.
• Tips and tricks.

I appreciate any feedback from libraries, and other resources that I may publish through Xpressing XAML and welcome anyone’s opinion.
