Andrew Duthie just published my second DevNuggets episode. In this installment, titled Styling 101, I cover the basics of styling Silverlight controls. The videos are intended to be quick, short installments following a theme starting from the very basics and getting gradually more advanced.

You can view the video here. I hope you find it useful.

For the curious, I use the following tools when building these videos:

• Camtasia 5.1 – this is the standard for screen capture software
• Expression Encoder 2 – I use this and its new optimized Screen encoding settings in order to produce the best quality Silverlight video in the least amount of space. I also generate the player using one of the pre-defined templates.
• Microsoft Silverlight Streaming by Windows Live – This is where the video is hosted, for free even.
• Visual Studio 2008, Silverlight 2 Beta 2

I record and publish at 1024x768, so don’t be shy about hitting that full-screen button.
