I’m an interaction designer with Veracity Solutions who has been working with WPF and Silverlight for a few years now. I started this blog because I noticed that everytime I went to Microsoft for some WPF or Sivlerlight thing-a-ma-thinger and I mentioned that I was a designer working in these technologies, all heads turned and I was bombarded with questions.
I think that WPF and Silverlight are fantastic technologies for designers and I wish more of them would give them a shot. Yes, it is a Microsoft technology (I can hear the boos from your immaculate Macbook Pros), but it is also wonderfully powerful and remarkably designer friendly if you can find some decent training for it (hence this blog).
And if you have ever met the team that makes Blend, you would know that they are a terrific team who are working extremely hard to make the best product they can to aid designers in getting exactly what they want in their applications.
