Mango Jump Start (04): Using Expression Blend to Build Windows Phone Interfaces

CODE for this SESSION

SLIDES for this SESSION

Microsoft MVPs Rob Miles and Andy Wigley are back! The "Building Applications for Windows Phone "Mango" Jump Start" was hosted by Microsoft Learning as a follow-up to last year's Windows Phone 7 Jump Start sessions. Mobile application developers rave about the fast-paced, demo-rich, real-world and often-times humorous approach Rob and Andy use to deliver this timely content. Now that "Mango" has made such a huge splash in the industry, we've asked them to put together another great course.

This course is specially tailored for developers looking to build cool applications and games for the new Windows Phone Mango Platform.

With module four, Andy covers User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) design possibilities using Expression Blend. This session is full of demonstrations showing developers how to create animations, design Time Data, build custom Control Templates and how to prototype using Sketchflow.
