Learning Expression Blend

Lloyd_Humph — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 21:14:35 GMT

Since I started with Continental 8 a few months back, we've been working on some interesting stuff. However, since I discovered I wouldn't be able to become an MSP properly, I kindof lost heart... but that heart is back I decided to do a few Expression Blend tutorials, as a way of keeping interest in the project up - because there are definately some interesting things to come.

So, I hope you enjoy my first part of what will probably be a 10-15 part series.

Download the PDF Here.

I'll probably have Part 2 done in a couple of hours, so keep an eye out!

(oooh we can copy smileys from C9 )

Bill Gates talks about Free Software, Students, and Technology

How would you like a free copy of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008? How about the entire Microsoft Expression Studio? Not enough...... how about Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and more?

For once, something that sounds too good to be true really is this good and really is true. Starting today (or soon in some areas), students worldwide will be able to download our professional development and design tools for free! It's called DreamSpark and it is upon us.

We got a few minutes with the guy himself, Mr. Bill Gates, to talk about his thoughts on this student opportunity. We also discussed the fast pace of technology and how students can best deal with that. Finally, I gave him a chance to think about what he would do if he were 17 years old again and starting up the next big company. His answer was--are you sitting down because this one was a real shocker--software!

We figured since one 8er already won a PC and another 8er won a Zune, we should hook you guys up with something cool too... I better see some smiles in the comments! :)
