How do I download the videos?

  • To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”

Why should I download videos from Channel9?

  • It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
  • You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
  • If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!

Which version should I choose?

  • If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
  • If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
  • If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
  • If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.

Right click “Save as…”

You may be a developer who sometimes does layout or has to spend time slicing images to stuff into your UI.  Or you may be a designer who wants to get that control to function a certain way, so much that you crack open the code.  These hybrid tasks exist and in my mind have become more pronounced with new client technologies like WPF and SIlverlight.  Enter the Integrator or at least the recognition of Integration tasks.

Robby Ingebretsen has thought a lot about this and shares his ideas with us in the video.  We cover the workflow and planning for these three roles, and how Expression Blend fits in. 

As an extra tool for Integrators he shows off the Blendables tool set.  A unique set of controls in the sense that they really seem to target UI designers and developers.

    Very interesting video.

    I guess I am an "integrator"--web designer/web developer--or int for short. Wink

    Used to do Flash but lately doing mostly videos.

    When will the Expression Studio have NLE video and  motion graphics applications as part of the Expression Studio?

    Cool

    Great video Robby, nicely put.  One correction though...being a former employee at frog design, the integrator role at frog is known as the "Design Technologist", not technician.

    Coming from frog as a senior developer and working in a workflow that works, what Robby dicussed is dead on right.  You need the middle man, the integrator, to bring the technical aspects of WPF and the design together.  Most developers are too technical and muck up, or over complicate, the implementation of the design.  My background is in digital graphic design, but I migrated into the developer world and have been doing it the last 11 yrs.  I find myself enjoying the role as the "integrator" more and more with WPF, mainly because it blends my two skills together.
