Starting with a blank sheet of Expression Blend paper...

A few weeks ago I recorded an interview with Martin Grayson about what you do when you start up Expression Blend for the first time. You know the kind of thing... new tool... blank screen... Ahhhhh... PANIC!

Thankfully Martin did a great job of responding to my dumb questions (I was trying to play dumb - honest :-) ) and showing how to build a pretty compelling WPF application with no code... ideal for us Architect types :-)

Anyway the 4 short videos are up on Channel 9 now, so please take a look and let me know if this kind of thing is useful.

I'm on 3 right now. Coincidentally, my dev manager was talking to me about how we are looking at moving away from custom form generation using our own proprietary form design software to designing forms solely in XHTML.  I said, "Hey, come take a look at this--its called XAML and this is the tool used to design forms in it."  It was definitely nice timing.
