Usings reuxables videos
 I am REALLY loving the Camtasia + Silverlight combination. Can you believe these videos - recorded at 1280x688 are under 2 MB?! Go check out the videos! 
Getting good funding for your projectsAndy just wrote about a very true fact about fundings for software projects. "I wish I would have learned earlier in my career how important the UX is -- when
you are briefing the boss, they need to see a good looking UI, or you won't get
your next funding cycle."

Codename NukeBall Tech Preview 1For more than a year (actually several if you include research) we have been working on Visual Studio tool Codename NukeBall - a Dynamic Rapid UI Development tool. Essentially, it creates parts (or whole) of UI in your Windows Forms projects with a single click. Over the past year, the core (NxC) of NukeBall evovled from a simple automation tool to an actual code adapter. We added support for creating your own UI chunks - called WADS (Widely Adaptable Dynamic Scraps) - and added complete support for 3rd party controls. The main power of NukeBall lies in seamlessly converting UI code from one .NET language to another - and some other things we are not yet ready to talk about. ;) Without further ado, I leave you with a live demo of what Codename: NukeBall can do.

0.9 Beta Released
WPF Transition Framework or WTF, is a simple (and FREE) set of controls (well, control for now) that help you add slick animated transitions to your WPF apps without having to resort to creating timelines or messing with code.
It's as simple as this:
<WTFX:WTF Duration="250" Transition="BlurOut" Quality="Better">
<!-- Put your stuff here -->
</WTFX:WTF>
This is the beta release and only 4 (of 10+) transitions are supported: BlurIn, BlurOut, FadeIn, and FadeOut. Check out our wishlist to see what we hope to add to it (including bitmap based animated effects!).
WTF let's you easily control the quality/performance ratio by using the QUALITY property. If you want to stop animations for a moment, then you just turn on HoldTransitions (bool) and it will deactivate all transitions.
Download WTF and check out the sample application!
WTF works with Microsoft Expression Blend 1.0 or later, and Visual Studio 2008 Beta 1 or later.

reuxablesIf you've been one of the rare long followers of my blog you might occassionally ask yourself what happend to NukeBall, and all those other WPF apps and tools I've been talking about.
Well, we went over a lot of changes as Microsoft put WPF, Blend, and ORCAS into shape. Finally, we're ready to talk more about it.
We're bring all those things under one roof called REUXABLES (that's pronounced "reusables"). Click this link to find out more. We're going to reveal more over the next few weeks what other stuff we have in production under the reuxables line.
