Time To Blend In
The nice and curvy user interface produced by WPF has always been intriguingly attractive. But the one thing that has stopped me from getting into that is the lack of a good XAML editor (The one comes with VS2005 SUCKS!).
Now that the Blend is almost here, it's time to dig into WPF from both a UI designer and developer perspective. September Preview of Blend 2 can be downloaded here.
A great tutorial of Blend can be found here (Fabrikam Catalog).
