Acknowledgements

A book of this size, about a product with wildly broad capabilities such as Microsoft Expression Blend, requires more than an author, or two. It requires a solid publishing team, and with this book we were lucky enough to have a great team: Kathy Krause (Top-Notch Content Editor), Kathleen Anderson (Technical Reviewer), Russell Jones (Acquisitions and Developmental Editor), and all the good folks at Microsoft Press and OReilly Media who put in so much effort and brought so much experience to the production of this book.

We would also like to thank all the Expression Blend users who have helped us design exercises and answer questions that we hope will be of maximum benefit to the user community. And we would like to thank the management and participants in the Microsoft MVP community who have helped us gain deeper contacts and understanding of the Microsoft Expression Studio product group.

Thank you all!

Introduction

Microsoft Expression Blend 4 is Microsofts newest interactive design tool. Its intended for designers and developers who need to create user interfaces for rich Internet, desktop, and mobile applicationsand it offers tools that support the design of such applications, from conception to completion.

Expression Blend 4 is part of Microsoft Expression Studio 4 Ultimate, a suite of design tools that includes the impressive SketchFlow feature, which helps designers rapidly experiment with dynamic user experiences and create compelling functional prototypes.

Expression Blend provides powerful tools for integrating sample data into your application. If youre just beginning an application design and have no existing sample data to fill it with, Expression Blend provides sample data sources that you can use to populate the application with temporary (but realistic) data. If you do have sample data, Expression Blend lets you use that. In both cases, youll be able to view the sample data while you design the user interfaceeven before the application gets connected to the final live data source.

With Expression Blend, you can even integrate graphics created in other design tools, such as Microsoft Expression Design, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop. The easiest source for integrating external graphic assets is Expression Design. The Expression Design + Expression Blend combination provides simple integration paths, because both applications are in the Expression Studio family. But you arent limited to that combination. There are powerful importing tools that integrate assets from Adobe products as well. With Expression Blend, the choice of graphic design tools is up to you.

Expression Blend also makes it easy to enable interactivity without writing code. Behaviors, which are powerful interactivity building blocks, were developed expressly so that designers could add interactivity to applications without writing code. To use behaviors, you simply drag them onto objects in Expression Blend, set their properties, and enjoy the resulting interactivity.

The most common task for user interface designersskinning controlsinvolves understanding the structure of common controls and creating reusable styles for applications. Powerful Expression Blend style/template editing capabilities help designers to carefully modify the look and feel of default Microsoft Silverlight or Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) controls while retaining their functionality.

Expression Blend 4 also makes design workflow easier than ever before. Designers and developers can work seamlessly, sharing projects, code, and designs for better productivity and higher quality results.
