We're happy to announce that our new book, Microsoft Expression Blend Bible is now available!
This is the first major book out on Blend and we feel it's terrific. As authors, we spent an entire
year writing it, and it explores all the major features of Blend in depth. It's filled with useful stuff! In this website we offer tutorials, sample projects described in the Blend Bible, and more. This is just the beginning. We'll be posting more examples and tutorials every day.
Our tutorials include the following:
Creating a new control from an empty template
Rotating a 3D object with sliders
Adding context menus
Customizing a slider
Some last minute corrections to Blend Bible that did not make it into the book are as follows:
Page 330: Corrected steps for the tutorial on data binding a 3D object with a slider.
Page 463: Corrected steps for the tutorial on creating custom controls.
Pages 424 and 545: Corrected text.
Page 626: The code in the figure is too small. This is coming soon.
Samples projects available to view and download include the following:
Creating a custom control using data binding
Wrapping text on a 3D sphere
RSS feed reader
Video player
Displaying information from an XML data source
Displaying information from an XML data source with multiple arrays
Handoff animation
Gridsplitters
