10 Expression Blend 3 Tutorials for Silverlight available for download
The 10 tutorials from the Eyes of Blend series on Project Rosetta site are now available for download in both Word and PDF format. The .zip files also contain source code for the starter projects and resource files if appropriate. One thing that’s been useful in developing these web tutorials is that I’ve been able to reuse them as demos for talks and now downloadable labs to run offline. The next format I’m planning will be screencasts, most likely for the more visual demos.
As for using them as demos, they are a good start but need a little extra oomph to work well during a talk. Adding in the sample behaviors from the Expression Blend Sample Pack is a great way to demonstrate Behaviors as an extensible platform and Blend as an extensible tool. Very cool stuff going on in the Expression world and I’m looking forward to sharing the next set of tutorials and samples.

Hi Adam Kinney! I’m a (very) novice programmer of C# and currently using WPF in Blend and VS, I have some experience of Blend 3 but I want a great (in-depth) tutorial of Data-Binding through Blend 3, (this topic is very hard to me for understanding).
I hope I will find this tutor here, when I (next-time) open this site ….
With Great Wishes…..
