Pro Expression Blend 4 is for .NET developers and graphical
artists who want to learn the ins and outs of the Expression Blend
integrated development environment. You may know already that this
tool can be used to build Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF),
Silverlight, and Windows Phone 7 applications; however, this book
will take you well beyond the basics and provide you with a
detailed examination of key Blend topics, including workspace
customization, graphics, layout, styles, themes, data binding, and
the use of SketchFlow, giving you an excellent understanding of the
Blend product and what it can do for you.Over the course of these
eight chapters, you will learn numerous techniques to simplify the
authoring of XAML using Blend. These include: Transforming a vector
graphic into a custom control template with a few clicks of the
mouse Generating complex animations using an integrated timeline
editor Visually designing interactive data templates Creating
prototypes (via SketchFlow) that can be transformed into
production-level code
Throughout Pro Expression Blend 4, you'll work with both Blend
and .NET code to finalize fully-functional projects that will
provide both valuable insights and a sound foundation for your
future WPF and Silverlight projects. Each chapter will give you
ample opportunity to build .NET software using Blend. However, this
is not a programming book, per se. While some examples will require
a manageable amount of C# code, this book is squarely focused on
helping you gain mastery over the numerous tools, editors,
designers, and wizards of the Microsoft Expression Blend IDE. What
