"Expression Blend 5 for Devs: Design a XAML or HTML5/CSS3 UI Faster" by Ben Hoelting

Building the modern UIs that user's demand can be tedious and difficult, whether they are built in XAML or HTML5/CSS3. Especially since the tooling provided for building these complex UIs is poor and unreliable. This forces developers/designers to hack the UI markup themselves. Expression Blend 5 takes major strides to enable trusted UI design without the need to editing the markup manually. This talk will demonstrate the new capabilities included in Blend 5 for solving this problem.

Objectives/Outcomes:

  • How Blend makes XAML UI Design Easier
  • How Blend makes HTML5/CSS3 Design Easier
  • How Blend interacts with the Visual Studio 11 Development Environment
