Have you downloaded Express Blend yet?
Full version completely free for me :-D - Google "Microsoft Dreamspark". I know it's a clever marketing ploy but you gotta love them for it. Currently installing Server 2003 onto a spare hard-drive ready for return to Uni in three weeks (planning to leave the desktop here at home now I've got a new laptop).
Ed, Blend has been free since it came out, because they keep releasing new beta and preview versions. At some point, a purchase will be required unless you have an MSDN subscription, etc. Super product!

I realise that it's been free with respects to the betas but if people want a "stable" version then I thought it wasn't? Sorry just wanted to shout out about the DreamSpark project because it's so great :-)
Very stable. We have the preview in production and have all the betas in production since day one. It's just a super XAML tool, so it really won't hurt your application the build. A few very minor items to get used to, but he payback is huge.

Ed - Blend has a bit of a "learning curve" associated with it. It seems so counterintuitive until you get into it (when you realise that it is incredibly logical). I found the following resources really useful to help me learn Blend: http://wpf.netfx3.com/files/folders/labs/default.aspx[^] - has a couple of Blend samples. The LOB app is excellent. http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modPage.asp?ID=384[^]. Unlike a lot of Lynda.com training - these videos are free and cover the basics quite well.

Thanks for the suggestions, however I think I'd better get on with revision rather than messing around with Blend :sigh:

Pete & Ed, Pete is correct. The first time i saw Blend, I went nuts. AHHHHHHHHHHHH,,,,, WHAT'S THIS????????? Then I started to feel the love and look at Blend as a designer tool, then went around giving presentations showing developers this is the coolest tool, with an "artboard" and "property inspector." I used lynda.com for two months and also have a subscription to Total Training. The Microsoft Expressin site also has many links to free training material. In attition, you can surf the web, many people have videos out there, showing off what they did with Blend.

Nope end of first year and I haven't really paid that much attention through the year :rolleyes:
Ahhh. But seriously though - Delphi???? This is the reason grads have so much trouble finding decent work when they leave Uni - lack of practical experience (although you should be all right in that respect).
