About this book
- Blend 2 is a huge improvement over Blend, and will expand the existing market
- The book will be out as soon as possible after release (tentatively scheduled for March/April)
- Acts as an entry point for existing designers and developers from both sides – Flash users who need to learn Blend for a project, and Microsoft Visual Studio users who need to create a web presence
Expression Blend was Microsoft’s first entry into the web application and design space; the first time they trod on Adobe Flash’s toes. They got a lot of things right, and started to carve out a market, but they didn’t get the crossover numbers they wanted. Blend 2 is where they put that right. This book details everything a designer or developer needs to know to start developing web applications in Blend.
