As you may know Expression Blend 4 has shipped!

It is still part of Expression Studio, which now comes in 2 “flavors”:

  • Expression Studio 4 Ultimate
    • Expression Blend
    • SketchFlow
    • Expression Web + SuperPreview
    • Expression Encoder
    • Expression Design
  • Expression Studio 4 Web Professional
    • Expression Web + SuperPreview
    • Expression Encoder
    • Expression Design

So the version you want for Silverlight is Expression Studio 4 Ultimate (because you can’t buy Expression Blend alone).

Expression Blend is an awesome tool but might be difficult to approach at first, specially for people coming from Visual Studio… this tool target designers so it can takes time for a developer to get comfortable enough.

Good news is the availability of a free “Blend Fundamentals Training” which contains plenty of resources to help you master Expression Blend in 5 days:

Also don’t forget the .toolbox:

This Microsoft website contains courses and tutorials to help you learn UI Design for Silverlight with Expression Blend.
