The guys at Infusion are pushing another first, this time it is training for designers using Expression. The course will allow attendees to get an introduction to the large new toolset offered by Expression Blend, gain hands-on experience with Expression Blend that will make you immediately productive, learn how to bring your UIs to the next level by taking advantage of Silverlight and WPF features and understand how Expression Blend ties into code components of a .NET 3.5 application.

A little more info......

Summary

This custom course is intended to provide application user interface designers with hands-on exposure to Microsoft Expression Blend 2.5, Microsoft’s newest tool for designing XAML-based UIs for Silverlight and Windows Presentation Foundation applications.

The course consists of both lecture and lab sessions so that application designers will have an opportunity to get hands-on experience with Blend and the processes involved in designing an application using this tool. In particular, this course will draw attention to the collaborative nature of Blend and the strategies that teams of both designers and developers can use when working together to build complex applications.

The materials in this course are intended for non-developers and the labs contain no coding exercises. However, a general understanding of application development processes is recommended.
