Microsoft Expression for Developers:demystifying user interface design

All user want a quality experience. This Comprises of 4 things:Intuitive,Availability,Fast,Connected
need to get back to sketching out things on pen paper before we start
Change your state of mind...empathize more with user
beware user liaison...they don't always know what the users want
Use Blend and sketchflow
Blend is primary tool for xmal based interfaces
SketchFLow
  Used to create prototype
  Helps you break out ideas
  Supports WPF and Silverlight
Blend
  Can use blend to create some sample data
  Allow for interactive behavior without code
  Behavior used across all applications
  Supports Visual state manager
    Allows you to create states for your objects
    Can move between states with behaviors or with code (set behaviors in blend)
WP& support in blend due out in "mango" (I know no one really cares)
