Getting from there to here: Flash to Silverlight

This is not new but somehow not as known as it should be. Project Rosetta is about enabling Flash Designers to quickly grasp the fundamentals of going from Flash to Silverlight and understanding what’s different and what’s the same. It was developed by Rick Barraza of Cynergy Systems, a firm that is arguably an expert in both platforms.

There’s also so great links to a wonderful whitepaper on designer and developer workflow. Learn more at The New Iteration.

Expression Studio 2 Ships

One short year after Expression Studio was introduced at MIX 08 was announced we're seeing a major update to the suite with Expression 2, which shipped last Friday. See here for information on some of the great new features such as PHP support in Web and Silverlight support in Blend as well as things that make Expression easier to install and update and even own via new subscription based pricing.

Expression Studio also has great support via the Expression Community with active forums and great articles, links and training about how to integrate Expression Studio into your design studio.
