Design In the Trenches Reference Links Redux

These are some supplemental Web links that support my 'Design in the Trenches' talk that I've been giving at Expression Session 07 events.

• Jensen Harris, An Office User Interface Blog
  A wonderful blog that served as a background for many of the facts and ancedotes about the history of Office and Office 2007 Development.
• Microsoft Design
  Learn more about how Microsoft approaches design challenges across the company and find out about design opportunities at Microsoft.
• Microsoft Expression
  Learn all about Expression tools and get great resources for learning.
• Windows Vista Website
  The Windows Vista Team Blog.
• Office UI Standards
  Learn about the user interface guidelines that were developed for Office 2007.
• Vista UI Standards
  Learn about the user interface guidelines that were developed for Vista.

There are also some wonderful blogs out there that talk intelligently about rich internet application design. Here's two that I like alot.

• Ryan Stewart who also has The Universal Desktop over at ZD Net and is now contributing to TechCrunch as well.
• The WPF blog by Lee Brimelow. Lee also does The Flash Blog, The Flex Blog and others. I think he's a robot, but a Damn talented one. Lee also has great Expression Blend training over at Lynda.com. Worth the modest investment to learn some great things.
