Congratulations to the Microsoft Expression teams for another great release! If you are an MSDN Premium subscriber, you’ll probably want to wait a week or so until Expression Studio 3 show up on MSDN. That will take about a week or so. The exciting news buried in that sentence is that MSDN Premium Subscribers will get all of Expression Studio 3 (including SketchFlow) as part of their subscript...

Three makes it a meme, right? :) Shawn and John recently posted about their Silverlight toolkit, so I thought I’d do the same.

Ben Waggoner just announced that Expression Encoder 2 includes a .NET object model for automation. The code in the SDK example looks really simple and straight-forward: static void Main(string[] args)

I'm still adjusting to the 3 hour time change plus 1 hour daylight savings time (why do they even bother with that any more?) However, here are some useful sites and links that came out of MIX08:First, of course, is the Microsoft Silverlight Community site.

Now this is coolMichael Scherotter (Synergist) is doing a webcast on how to create a Workflow Foundation (WF) activity for encoding video. If you're trying to do any automated media submission workflows on your site (a la YouTube), this is a nice way to go about it.Be sure to check out the webcast information here. The webcast is tomorrow at 1:00pm Eastern Time so sign up soon :)

A side effect of that is that you get access to unmanaged Silverlight source for some slick media players. However, that source could be hard to follow until now, and there was no guidance for creating your own templates.The debug version of the base p...
