Blend Tutorials



During the month of October 2009 I am running a 22 post Basic Blend course marathon! These posts will be aimed at the beginner Expression Blend user and aim to get that user to a level where they are competent using the tool.

The 22 posts have already been planned out and will be released 1 per working week day over the entire month of October. The posts are listed below and will slowly be unlocked day by day starting on Thursday the 1st:

  2. Very useful articles for those of us learning Silverlight from scratch. Did not get enough tuition on the “Using the 3D tools to animate in Blend ” though. You were too brief.

  3. Hi, I am a new user of Silverlight and would like to ask …
    I made a set of horoscopes ( totally 12 projects) and now I regreat and want to put all of them into a new project as a library and I wonder if there’s any way to do that….>_< I tried to copy all of them, but later find the animation in the storyboard will be disappeared if I do that….thank you so much!
